Ruthlandian Union - North Division

Redhawks Win In 10 Over All-Stars
Hawk Gallagher of first place Far Mountain boomed a two-run tenth-inning homer to top the Elnora All-Stars 4-2. Both clubs got excellent pitching from Sonny Elliott of the Redhawks and Pat Savoie of the All-Stars. The starters tossed complete games with Elliott (10-5 2.58) taking the victory. He struck out seven and walked two in ten innings and held Elnora to two runs. Savoie (3-1 2.61) suffered his first loss so far this season, giving up only five hits and three earned runs, one walk and striking out ten. Center fielder Gallagher (.323) had two hits and two runs driven in to led Far Mountain with some RBI help from right fielder Tommy Sonnier (.286), who hit his 9th homer in the sixth, and shortstop Al Nixon (.273), who had an RBI single in the seventh to even the score at 2-2. Elnora's only runs came on solo salvos in the second and sixth frames from Quincy Peterson (.295), his 11th and 12th this year.

Far Mountain (43-28) has won its last two games and leads the RU North. Elnora (27-44) is sixth and last in the standings, 16 games back.

Colfax Wins 8th Straight, A's Tie Loss Mark
Third sacker Russ Farrell's tenth-inning single was the game-breaker that enabled Colfax to win its 8th straight game, just one short of the IPA mark. A one-out walk put left fielder Blinky Brandon (.298) on base. He advanced to third on first baseman Dennis Cole's (.300) double, then scored on Farrell's (.284) hit to nip Glasco 3-2 and send them to a record-tying 9th consecutive defeat. Irv Panko (1-0 0.00) pitched a perfect tenth for the victory in relief of Alex Castille (8-5 4.08), who worked nine innings, gave up 11 hits, two runs, fanned eight and walked no one in a strong outing. Ray Cook (1-4 1.98) lost it in relief of Bill Darby, who went eight innings, permitted two runs on six hits, struck out five and walked five. The Athletics outswung the Blasters 11 hits to 8 with first baseman Maury Smith (.355) getting two hits and two RBIs, including his 10th home run. Colfax got its other two runs on doubles by Brandon and center fielder Tatsuya Sasaki (.270).

The Glasco A's are now tied with the Sugar Valley Rattlers for the dubious honor of most consecutive losses. Sugar Valley set the IPA mark on June 4th with a 6-5 loss to Marston.

The Blasters (40-30) are second in the division, only 2.5 games behind the Far Mountain Redhawks (43-28) and the Athletics (32-36) are next-to-last, 9.5 games off the pace.

Volusia Wins 4th , Trounces Valmara 9-3
In an attempt to shake Valmara out of the doldrums, manager J. Samuel Jackson added three new hurlers and used all of them against the red-hot Volusia Vigilantes, but to no avail -- the Vipers lost their 8th game in succession -- while the V's chalked up their 4th in a row. The Vigilantes trounced Valmara 9-3 behind Kit Kivett (6-3 2.60), who finally won one after three straight defeats. The Volusian bats were blazing with 16 hits, spearheaded by shortstop Scooter Perez (.378), who took over the top spot in the Ruthlandian Union with a .378 batting mark. Perez went 4-for-5 with a double, homer and four RBIs. Second baseman Chaco Rivera (.250) collected three hits, including a double and a roundtripper, scored twice and drove in two runs and left fielder Winky Rush (.287) put up three hits and scored twice. Loser Gerry Wojcik (0-1 7.82) lasted only three innings and gave up five runs. Vanya Vasylenko (0-0 3.00) and Jace Allardyce (0-0 9.00) didn't fare much better. Kivett permitted 11 hits, but only two earned runs for the victory.

Valmara (33-37) and Glasco (32-360 both are in the throes of losing streaks and are tied for fourth place, 9.5 games behind. Volusia (35-35) finally made the .500 mark and has climbed up into third place, 7.5 games out.
