Ruthlandian Union - South Division

SV Snaps 5-Game Losing Streak, Rips Marston 9-2
Sugar Valley finally snapped out of its 5-game slump by ripping first place Marston 9-2 behind the fine pitching of Val Watford. That sent the Nine down to its fourth loss in a row. Watford (3-1 3.08) stopped Marston on two runs and six hits, struck out eight and issued no walks in an impressive performance. The Rattlers backed him up with an 11-hit attack, including three home run blasts. First baseman Ron Armstrong (.333), catcher Slingshot McFall (.266) and shortstop Flipper Bird (.290) all went deep for Sugar Valley. Bob Lowe (3-4 4.08) caught the loss. He surrendered four runs in three innings. First baseman Chuck Barrett (.263) homered for Marston.

Marston (82-64) is still in first in the Ruthlandian Union North race, but just 2 games in front of second place Forest City (79-66). Sugar Valley (75-71) is in the third place postion and 7 games behind.

Westerners Win 4th In a Row, FC Falls 8-4
The fourth place Waleska Westerners pounded 12 hits and whipped second place Forest City 8-4 at Riverside Stadium for their fourth victory in a row. Right fielder Milt Carlson (.287) scored twice, had two hits and two RBIs, including his 4th homer of the year. Catcher Mac Wilkins (.226) also chipped in two runs and two RBIs and third baseman Yoshihide Nishida (.280) had two RBIs in the game. The 'Jacks got two homers from Benny Davis (.275) and little else. Devon Turner (2-3 3.73) notched the win by hurling seven and one-third innings, was tagged for seven hits and three runs. Turner was wild with five walks, but fanned six batters. Knucks Nomellini (7-2 3.26) was shelled for five runs in less than two innings for the loss.

Forest City (79-67) lost a golden opportunity to narrow first place Marston's (82-64) lead in the RU South pennant chase. The Rattlers trail them by 3 games. Waleska (69-77) is 13 games out and ranked fourth in the division.

Church's 9th-Inning Homer Wins Game for Sunbirds
Shortstop Danny Church slugged a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth and gave Belair Beach a comeback 7-6 victory over the Claxton Diamonds at Bayside Park. Reliever Sandy Kozicz (3-1 3.66) registered the win, though he gave up a run in his two and one-third innings of work. Dennis Scott (8-9 4.89), who came on in the ninth, gave up the decisive shot and absorbed the defeat. The Sunbirds cracked four homers in all with first baseman Phil Gravelli (.336) getting number 32 and 33, left fielder Nicky Swift (.325) his IPA-leading 44th and Church (.245), his 10th of the season. Claxton outhit Belair Beach 11 to 7. Third baseman Keith Olsen (.309) went 2-for-5 with two RBIs and his 9th roundtripper and second sacker Donny McCoy (.332) smacked three hits and batted in three runs in defeat.

The Sunbirds (67-79) leaped past Claxton (66-80) into the fifth slot in the RU South stanindings. The Diamonds are in the cellar now, 16 games behind.
