Tycobbian Union - East Division

Nats Back on Top, Nudge CC 4-3
Ozarka is back on top of the TU East Division after they curtailed Cape Coral's winning steak at six games with a 4-3 triumph. At the same time the Naturals snapped a four-game losing spell. Ozarka slipped a half-game ahead of Ginza, when the Ninjas fell to South Fork today. Giant righthander Donnie Stone (4-3 3.69) rose to the occasion and checked the Hurricanes on three runs and seven hits before he tired in the ninth. He walked two batters with two outs and needed closer Alex DiMaggio (6-2 1.78) to get the last out. DiMaggio chalked up his 3rd save. Cape Coral starter Owen Pruitt (4-4 3.93) was breezing along with a 3-1 lead heading into the eighth. Ozarka erupted for three runs to go up 4-3 on third baseman Doug Cunningham's (.250) RBI single and shortstop Gil Lantz's (.229) two-run game-winning blast. Reliever Scotty Lohmeyer (2-3 3.00) served up the decisive home run and absorbed the loss. Lantz and Cunningham topped the Nats with two RBIs each. Cunningham hit his 16th homer and catcher Rick Clark (.341) cracked a two-run roundtripper for the 'Canes. Center fielder Teddy Braun (.300) went 3-5 to lead Ozarka, while shortstop Bobo Hatfield (.285) was 3-4 and first baseman Rodger Wooten (.299) was 2-4 for Cape Coral.

Ozarka regained first place with a 30-26 mark and are a half-game in front of second place Ginza (30-27). The Sunbirds slipped to third (29-27), but only one game off the pace

Stallions Gallop Past Ginza 5-2
At Ninja Stadium in Ginza, the South Fork Stallions dealt the Ninjas a severe loss 5-2 as Jerry Harrison went the distance. Harrison shut them down on seven singles to win for the 6th time this season and knocked them out of first place. The crafty lefthander struck out three and walked only one in a solid outing. Suffering the defeat was Ginza's fine diminutive 5'7" righthander Kojiro Matsumoto (8-2 3.32). He allowed four runs on six hits over six innings, only two earned. The Ninjas committed three errors. Matsumoto fanned five and issued one base on balls. South Fork third baseman Glenn Holliday walloped a three-run homer in the third inning, the first allowed by Matsumoto this year. Catcher Darryl Burnett and first baseman Rod Reed (.184) drove in the other two scores. The Ninjas shortstop Shinjiro Aoki (.291) paced them with three hits.

Ginza (30-27) is now a half-game behind Ozarka (30-26) in the battle for the TU East lead. South Fork (28-29) is not far behind in fourth place, trailing by only 2.5 games.

Zorros Zonk Hellcats 9-4
Manager Alejandro Rodrigo's Luxora Zorros broke out the bats to put an end to a 4-game slump and zonked Hartsdale 9-4. That also stopped the Hellcats win skein at three games. Third baseman Roberto Vina (.279) led the way with 2-3 and three RBIs, including his 7th homer. First baseman Paul Hallenbeck (.330) collected his 9th home run and batted in two runs and catcher Eric Richter (.365) was 3-5 with an RBI and scored twice. Z's second baseman Paco Benitez (.254) added three hits and scored two runs. Hartsdale center fielder Greg Reynolds (.257) knocked in two runs with two hits. Reynolds hit his 8th roundtripper. In the game Luxora had 14 hits and the Hellcats 11. Registering the win was starter Francisco Fernandes (5-5 3.42). He worked the first seven frames and yielded all four runs on nine hits with four strikeouts and a walk. Andy Stevens (2-2 3.20) closed it out with two runless innings.

Despite the defeat Hartsdale (26-30) held on to fifth place by a percentage point. Luxora (25-29) is in last place. Both clubs are only four games out.
