HICKS GIVE DEFENDERS BIG LEAD IN RU WEST
The Fort Benton Defenders needed a big game from hurler Gil Hicks (17-16/3.85) and he came through for them, along with 38-year-old closer Randy Rinehart (5-4/3.09 ERA/24 saves/45 G)... the tandem teamed up for a tight 3-2 triumph over the Waleska Westerners (78-72)... it was the Defenders third win in a row... it took 12 hits and five double plays to do it... Marlon Hazard (.343/4 HR/41 RBI) went 3-5 and drove in a run... Eamon Hooper (.287/12 HR/77 RBI) socked two doubles and batted in a run... and Sam Arnett (.261/4 HR/68 RBI) chimed in with another RBI two-bagger... now Fort Benton (85-65) has a three-game margin over the Middlefield Roosters (82-68) in the fight for the RU West Division crown and a spot in the Pro Cup playoffs... only four games remain on the regular-season schedule.
