Ruthlandian Union - South Division

Marston Back on Top, Beats Diamonds 5-3
A big 6'5" portsider put the Marston Nine back on top of the RU South Division. Paul Azard (4-1 2.05) stymied Claxton on five hits and beat them 5-3 at Avalon Stadium today. Azard had six Ks and two walks and went the route. Catcher Eddie Allen (.269) went 3-for-4 and batted in two runs to spark the Nine, along with second baseman Ken Green (.364), who cracked a two-run game-winning roundtripper off loser Phil Britt in the top of the eighth. Britt worked the last two innings and was tagged for two runs and three hits.

Marston (22-17) took the top spot in the division away from the Sugar Valley Rattlers (21-17) by a half-game. Belair Beach is only one game off the lead in third place. Claxton (15-25) is in the basement.

Sunbirds Burn Rattlers 6-2, SV Falls to 2nd
The tight RU South race just got tighter -- Belair Beach bumped off Sugar Valley 6-2 and now is only a half-game behind them and a game behind the new division leader, Marston. Southpaw Troy Wilson (3-4 3.63) quelled them on five hits, struck out seven and walked four for the win. Right fielder Matty McDermott (.322) clouted a three-run homer for the game-winning hit in the fifth and broke the 2-2 tie. It was homer number 6 for McDermott. Ron Benson (6-3 2.49) was looking for his seventh victory, but registered a loss instead. Benson was hit hard for five runs and seven hits and was taken out in the fifth.

By virtue of losing, the Rattlers (21-17) are now in the number two position in the division, while Belair Beach (21-18) is third.

'Jacks Bahr Tosses 2-Hitter
Herm Bahr (4-3 3.30) twirled a strong game as he limited Waleska to just two hits in today's game. Forest City belted the Westerners 6-1 at Westerner Field, paced by left fielder Chuck Hill (.370) with two RBIs, giving him 40 for the year, third best in the IPA. Right fielder Benny Davis (.244) added two more RBIs and first baseman Johnny Mack Butler (.271) hit a solo homer. Rusty Kraft (3-4 4.76) went the distance and was the losing pitcher. The Lumberjacks swatted nine hits off of him. In a poor performance Kraft numbered four strikeouts and issued four bases on balls. First baseman Freddie Shelton (.304) and Kraft (.111) got the only two hits off Bahr. Shelton homered in the second and Kraft singled in the third.

Waleska (20-20) is in fourth place in the division and Forest City (19-21) is fifth. The Westerners trail Marston by 2.5 games, while the Lumberjacks are 3.5 games behind.
