Tycobbian Union - East Division

SF Takes 3rd Straight, Olson Whips Z's 4-1
Ken Olson did it all today at Jock Ewing Stadium in South Fork. He tripled in three runs and pitched the Stallions to a 4-1 victory over the Luxora Zorros. Olson (15-14 3.02) fanned five, allowed seven hits and walked just one. Keith Callahan (16-13) was shelled early for four runs in three innings and took the loss. South Fork only managed 6 hits in the game, while Luxora got 7.

The Tycobbian Union East leader, South Fork (81-64), won for the third successive day, while runner-up Ginza (79-66) dropped its third straight game, falling two games behind. Luxora (67-78) is fifth and 14 games out.

'Canes Nip Ginza 3-2 in 12 Innings
Cape Coral dealt Ginza a harsh blow to their pennant hopes with a 3-2 twelve-inning defeat, pushing the Ninjas two games back of first place South Fork in the TU East race. Center fielder James Middleton (.283) drove in the decisive run with a single. It came off losing pitcher Ken Watkins (4-8 2.30), who permitted just one run in three and a third innings. Gary Fountain (12-12 3.64) picked up the win with three scoreless innings. First baseman Rodger Wooten (.299) and left fielder Rod Kelly (.302) had the other two RBIs. Wooten got his with his 28th home run of the year. The Ninjas got both of their runs on roundtrippers. Catcher Howard Mitchell (.305) and third baseman Kaz Ojima (.256) both went deep to pace Ginza.

Second place Ginza (79-66) lost its third consecutive game to the third place Hurricanes (72-73) and fell two games of the pace of first place South Fork (81-64) with only five to go. Cape Coral is 9 games back. However, the Ninjas look like a sure bet for a wild card position in the Elite 8 playoffs.

Ozarka Wins Over Hartsdale 7-6 in 14 Innings
Ozarka battled back throughout the game and finally edged Hartsdale 7-6 on left fielder Ronnie Patterson's RBI single in the fourteenth inning. The Naturals rallied from a 3-0 deficit after three innings, tied it 3-3 in the seventh, fell behind by a run in the eighth, knotted it up 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth and again 6-6 in the last of the eleventh. Ozarka collected 16 hits in the game and were led by Patterson (.260) with two hits and three RBIs. Center fielder Terry Braun (.300) went 5-for 6, scored two and batted in two, while hitting his 14th home run. Second baseman Duane Starr (.270) also hit a homer, also number 14 for him. Right fielder Kermit Wiggins (.294) scored three runs and had three hits. Hartsdale totaled 12 hits with center fielder Greg Reynolds (.268), catcher Kevin Haynie (.256) and right fielder Mel Poe (.255) all getting two hits apiece. Donnie Young (6-8 4.18) claimed the win with three scoreless innings, while Ike Moore (3-3 3.55) was the loser and worked the last one and one-third innings.

The Ozarka Naturals (70-75) are fourth in the division standings and 11 games behind South Fork (81-64). The Hartsdale Hellcats (66-79) are last, but with a chance to escape the cellar in their final five games of the regular season. They are only one game out of fifth.
