Tycobbian Union - East Division

SF's Conner Fires 2-Hitter, Routs Hellcats 10-0
The top team in the Tycobbian Union East, the South Fork Stallions, demolished the Hartsdale Hellcats 10-0 as Ken Conner fired a 2-hit shutout. It was their 5th straight victory. Conner (15-8 2.63) struck out seven and gave up three walks in a superlative performance. The Stallions sizzled at the plate, too, rapping out 13 hits. Center fielder Ronnie Lee (.308) and first baseman Keith Burke (.288) smacked three hits apiece to lead the way. Right fielder Art Atkins (.313) cracked his 14th home run of the season and drove in four runs and third baseman Glenn Holliday (.284) had two RBIs. Hellcat starter Jackie Bond (6-6 3.82) was the loser, allowing five runs in less than three innings.

The Stallions (83-64) lowered their magic number to one. A South Fork win or a Ginza (80-67) loss will give the division championship to the Stallions. South Fork has a three-game edge with only three games to go. Hartsdale (66-81) is last in the TU East and is 17 games off the pace.

Ginza Gets by Cape Coral 2-1, Clinches Wild Card
Second place Ginza clinched a wild card slot today and is headed for the Elite 8 Series. The Ninjas also needed a win in the worst way to stay in the hunt for the TU East crown. Another loss would eliminate them from the division title chase. The Ninjas got another fine outing from Toshiharu Ito (17-8 2.74) to stay in the race with first place South Fork. Ito tossed a five-hitter to edge Cape Coral 2-1 at Ninja Stadium. He struck out six and walked four. Closer Ken Watkins (4-8 2.24) came on in the ninth and got credit for his 15th save, but surrendered two hits before finishing the Hurricanes off and stopped their winning string at four. Ito (.190) even drove in both of the Ginza runs with a triple in the fifth inning. 'Cane starter Jeff Salow (8-7 3.31) was strong, too, giving up only six hits and two runs, striking out five and allowing only two walks. Cape Coral outhit Ginza 7 to 6 in the game.

Ginza (80-67) trails South Fork (83-64) by three games with only three games to go in the regular season. The Stallions magic number is down to one. Cape Coral (73-74) is in third place in the division standings and can only make the playoffs by winning out the rest of the season and Blue Lake (76-70) losing all of their remaining games.

Montel Mows Down Nats, Luxora Wins 8-2
Lefthander Johnny Montel turned in a strong mound performance in an 8-2 decision over the Ozarka Naturals at Ellie Ewing Stadium. Montel (11-15 3.49) limited the Nats to eight hits, fanned four and gave up only one walk. Third baseman Rico Vina (.283) led the batters with 3-for-5, three RBIs and scored three times. Vina clubbed his 18th home run this year and right fielder Lacey Tompkins (.286) got number four. Center fielder Ronnie Patterson (.257) homered for Ozarka for their only runs. It was his 27th this season. Losing pitcher Luther Hatch (15-16 3.18) was coming off two straight shutouts, but faltered badly in this start. Hatch was knocked out in the second inning after yielding five runs.

The fifth place Zorros (69-78) climbed to within one game of fourth place Ozarka (70-77) with the win.
