Ruthlandian Union - North Division

Blasters Blast Redhawks 10-1
The Colfax Blasters blasted Far Mountain on the scoreboard, routing them 10-1. But when you looked at the stats, they got only seven hits, which apparently was plenty enough. Colfax has beaten the Redhawks the last three games and has now pulled ahead of them by 1.5 games in the RU North Division. The Blasters won the series four games to one. First baseman Dennis Cole (.307) smacked a three-run homer, second baseman Tucker Hill (.347) hit a two-run triple and pitcher Robbie Smith (.238) drove in two runs with a single and a double. Cole now has 20 home runs. Far Mountain also helped out by committing four errors in the game. On the mound Robbie Smith (4-4 3.32) finessed his way to a five-hitter, finishing with five strikeouts and four walks. John Luzzatti (5-6 3.70) gave up four walks and two hits in the loss that tranlated into six runs. He faced five batters in the four-run second inning and got no one out.

Colfax (45-32) has moved to the top by winning 8 of the last 10 games, while second place Far Mountain (44-34) has slumped to 4-6 in recent games. The Redhawks will be happy to get out of Colfax, but still hold the edge in the season series, 11 games to 8.

A's Smash All-Stars for 5th In a Row
The Glasco Athletics have done a quick turnaround. Fresh off a long losing streak, the A's have now won five in a row, sweeping the whole series from Elnora. They wrapped up the series by smashing the All-Stars 10-4 at Athletics Field. Third baseman Zach Byorvik (.234) homered and drove in four runs to pace the A's with help from first baseman Maury Smith (.351), who had a homer, three runs scored and an RBI. Right fielder Buck Bucholtz (.375) also went 3-4, scored three times and drove in a run and center fielder Chet Reynolds (.299) had a two-run double. Elnora right fielder Quincy Peterson (.295) accounted for all of their scoring with two roundtrippers and four RBIs. Peterson has totaled 15 homers this season. Glasco righthander Jerry Smith (9-8 4.03) went the distance with a four-hitter, striking out nine and walking two.

Third place Glasco (38-37) is 6 games in back of first place Colfax (45-32), while Elnora (29-49) is 16.5 games behind in last place.

Volusia Rallies, Tops Vipers 7-6
Volusia fell behind 4-0 in the opening inning in Valmara, but came back to take slim 7-6 victory to move ahead of the Vipers in the battle for fourth place. Skipper Alfonso Feliz got outstanding work from his bullpen with Augie Giertych (1-1 2.29) getting the win with four fine innings. He held the Vipers to one hit and one unearned run. When Giertych got into trouble with walks in the eighth inning, Manny Seguin (0-0 0.00) bailed him out and closed out the game for his second save. Seguin hasn't allowed an earned run in nine innings and five relief appearances since joining the team about ten days ago. Leading the Vigilantes at the plate were right fielder Jesus Arroyo (.283) with three RBIs and left fielder Lonnie Howard (.249) with a pair of runs batted in. Arroyo put Volusia ahead to stay 7-5 with a two-run single in the sixth. Center fielder Jan Szymanski (.255) was the Vipers batting star with two hits and four RBIs. Szymanski now is tied with Colfax's Dixie Baker for the RBI lead with 73 in the Ruthlandian Union. Todd Turner (7-6 4.18) was nailed with the loss as he was rapped hard for seven runs in five and a third innings. Control was a major problem as he walked six.

The fourth place Vigilantes (38-39) are one game up on fifth place Valmara in the RU North standings and are 7 games out of first.
