TBU West Division

Lynk Defeat Bucs 5-3
The top club in the TBU West put together timely hitting and good bullpen pitching to break its brief two-game losing skein. The La Claire Lynx got by the cellar-dwelling Bay St. Clair Buccaneers 5-3 today. Closer Monoto Kishata nailed down his IPA-leading fifth save with three perfect innings. He came on for the tiring Nick Pilsner in the seventh. Pilsner struck out seven, but also walked seven. He was touched for three runs and five hits. The Lynx racked up five runs and seven hits off loser Sean Lawrence, sending him on an early exit in the fifth. A four-run fourth did the most damage. La Claire second baseman Darrell Boyce led manager Rip Calkin's crew with a homer and two RBIs. Catcher Dennis Weiss added three hits and batted in two runs.

The Lynx are now 14-7 and have the best record in the IPA divisions. Bay St. Clair (7-13) is last in the TBU West.

Frogs Boom Past Vikings
It was a free-swinging day at Downtown Plaza Stadium in Bayview where visiting Fairfax got the best of it 11-7. The Frogs battered four Viking pitchers for 15 hits, including five homers and four doubles. Third baseman Stan Cobb hit two of them and batted in four runs, right fielder Gregg Vincent had two roundtrippers and three RBIs and catcher Larry Novikov hit one, too. Vincent leads the IPA with 14 home runs and 31 RBIs, while Cobb has 6 homers. Lefthander Jackie Leslie (3-2) labored, but picked up the win. He left in the eighth after permitting six runs and nine hits. Adrian Strom (2-2) was shelled for seven runs and nine hits and went to the shower in the fourth. Bay St. Clair first baseman Keith Burke went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs. He got his first homer this season.

Second place Fairfax upped their record to 11-9 in the TBU West division, 2.5 games off the pace of first place La Claire. Bayview (10-11) is fourth.

Sox Clay 4-Hits Champs
For the third day in succession Blue Lake knocked off the Arlon at Derby Downs Park. Big Jay Clay (2-1) crafted a fine four-hitter and beat the Champions 8-1. Except for one home run by second baseman Nicky Sweet, he hurled an almost flawless game, striking out four and walking just one. The Blue Sox backed him up with 16 hits, sparked by shortstop Cy Orgeron with a three-run homer and four RBIs. Third baseman Dave Reed went 3-for-5 and put one in the stands, too. Five other players had two hits apiece, including Clay. Craig Smith (2-2) was charged with the loss as Blue Lake got to him for four runs and seven hits in five innings.

The Blue Sox (10-10) are on a roll and have climbed up to third place in the TBU West. Arlon (9-11)has dropped to fifth in the standings.
