Ruthlandian Union - North Division

Blasters KO's Vigilantes 7-3
Dennis Cole (.306) powered first place Colfax past Volusia 7-3 with four RBIs. The Blasters hot-hitting first baseman slugged a two-run homer and a two-run double. It was his 11th roundtripper this season. Left fielder Blinky Brandon (.316) also contributed a two-run triple. Harry Manning (5-2 3.40) garnered the win. He worked into the seventh when he needed help from closer Walt Sellers. Manning yielded three runs and eight hits in the game. It was Sellers third save. He didn't allow a run and struck out three in his stint. Volusia newcomer Augie Giertych (0-1 0.00) was the losing pitcher, but he didn't give up an earned run. He permitted five runs and seven hits in his six innings and had five strikeouts. Two errors led to five runs in the fifth inning and wiped out a 3-0 Vigilante lead.

Colfax (20-13) is the top team in the RU North, while Volusia (15-20) is in fifth place, six games behind.

FM Wins 6th Straight, Elnora Loses 6th
The Redhawks are red-hot -- just ask the Elnora All-Stars. Far Mountain took their sixth straight with a 3-1 triumph over Elnora at Sky High Stadium behind some fine pitching by Sonny Elliott (5-3 2.27). The Redhawk righthander stopped the All-Stars on a 5-hitter, all singles, struck out six and allowed no walks in an impressive performance. It was Elnora's sixth loss in a row. First baseman Royce Benson (.308) gave Elliot all the runs he needed with a two-run homer in the opening frame. Catcher Dave Davis (.328) drove in the other score and had two hits in the game. Portsider John Tinker (3-5 4.29) took the loss, but pitched well, too. He went seven innings, surrendered only two runs and five hits. The Redhawks outhit the All-Stars seven to five.

Manager Alex Groveland has guided Far Mountain to a 19-16 mark this season, while Elnora's Zoggy White has piloted his club to a dismal 14-21 record. The Redhawks are in the second spot, 2 games off the pace of the top team, Colfax (20-13). The All-Stars losing skein has dropped them into the division cellar.

Valmara Bombards A's 10-4
A four-run seventh busted up a close game and gave Valmara an easy 10-4 win over the Glasco Athletics. The big blow belonged to first baseman Yank Jankowski (.244), who swatted a three-run homer in the inning. Second baseman Floyd Vinson (.336) and right fielder Jet Kazmarek (.259) both drilled three hits in the Viper 12-hit barrage. Center fielder Jan Szymanski (.270) had two hits, two RBIs and scored twice. He also homered. Shortstop Mike Ellefsen (.311) chipped in with two more RBIs. Leading the way for the A's were first baseman Francisco Robles (.288) with 3-for-5 and two RBIs and second baseman Barry McCord (.264) with 3-for-3 and an RBI. Glasco had 12 hits all total.

Zarek Zalewski (6-2 1.70) picked up his sixth victory, but he wasn't around at the end. He exited early and tossed only five innings and was hit hard, yielding nine hits and three runs. New Viper pitcher Mickey Webb had a sharp outing. He held the A's scoreless in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings. Starter Jesse Balfour (2-4 3.33) bit the dust as he was shelled for five runs and eight hits in six innings.

The Vipers (18-16) are third in the RU North Division and trail first place Colfax (20-13) by 2.5 games. Glasco (16-16) fell back to .500 and are 3.5 games out.
