Tycobbian Union - East Division

Zorros Take Top Spot from Ozarka
Luxora made it look easy and manhandled Ozarka 7-1 to take over first place in the TU East. It was the third straight triumph for the Z's and the Naturals fourth defeat in a row. The Zorros lead by percentage points. Francisco Fernandes (3-2 2.71) worked a strong game, stopping Ozarka on six hits with seven strikeouts and three walks. Luxora smacked 12 hits and were led by catcher Eric Richter (.381) with a perfect 4-for-4 day and three RBIs, first baseman Paul Hallenbeck (.286) with 3-for-4 and two RBIs, including a homer and left fielder Tom Fortunato (.265) with a two-run roundtripper. Yasuyuki Nakagawa (4-2 2.42) was knocked out in the fifth and allowed seven runs and nine hits.

The Zorros (18-13) are now the number one team in the TU East Division, while Ozarka (19-14) slipped to the runner-up slot.

Stallions Race by Hurricanes 9-5
South Fork broke a two-game losing skein with a 9-5 victory over Cape Coral at Jock Ewing Stadium. The Stallions poked 13 hits off three Hurricane hurlers and belted three home runs. Leading the parade were right fielder Paul Giles (.283) with two hits and three RBIs, left fielder Gene Woodruff (.253) with two hits and two RBIs and Alex Kesler (.200) with two hits and two RBIs. Giles cracked his 12th homer of the year, while Woodruff and Mike Yastrzemski (.273) got their first of the season. Enjoying the run support was the winning pitcher, Ken Olson (2-3 2.74), who went all the way, allowed ten hits, fanned seven and only issued one walk. Cape Coral never threatened South Fork. It took a three-run ninth to keep it from being a runaway. Taking the loss was Owen Pruitt (2-2 2.76), who surrendered four runs and five hits over the first four frames.

The Stallions (12-22) still are in last place in the TU East, while Cape Coral (17-16) is third, two games behind first place Luxora (18-13). The Hurricanes share third with the Ginza Ninjas (17-16).

Ninjas Knock Off Hellcats 7-3
Homers by Charlie Campbell and Scoop McDonald paved the way to a Ginza 7-3 win over Hartsdale today at Pioneer Park. Left fielder Campbell (.299) hit a three-run shot in the first and second baseman McDonald (.282) gave the Ninjas a little breathing room in the ninth with a two-run salvo. Little Koshiro Matsumoto (6-0 2.62) was roughed up in the three-run seventh that cut his lead to 5-3, but Alec Sasek (1-0 3.00) saved it for him. Matsumoto permitted three runs and six hits and got his sixth win of the season. It was Sasek's first save. Danny Griffin (4-5 3.10) sustained the loss, allowing five runs and seven hits before being taken out in the sixth.

Ginza (17-16) moved into a tie with Cape Coral (17-16) for third place. Hartsdale (15-18) is fifth in the TU East standings.
