Ruthlandian Union - North Division

V's Nose Out Blasters 5-3
It was a struggle, but Volusia finally nosed out the first place Colfax Blasters 5-3 at the Jailhouse with a three-run eighth inning to win its fourth consecutive game. With the score even at 2-2 the Vigilantes got to Flash Guidry with a two-run double by left fielder Winky Rush (.280) and an RBI single by first baseman Alejandro Salazar (.295) to go up 5-2. Colfax mounted an attack in the top of the ninth against starting pitcher Lenny Collins. The Blasters loaded the bases, but only managed to score one run. Reliever Augie Giertych (1-1 2.18) put out the fire by striking out two of the final three hitters. It was his second save this season. Collins (6-5 3.02) notched the win, allowing nine hits and three runs, while fanning nine and walking six in eight innings. Colfax left 14 runners on base. Guidry (10-7 2.69) lost it, giving up five runs in seven and a third innings. Third baseman Bennie Anderson (.251) had two hits and an RBI for the V's. Collins (.300) contributed with his bat, too, by driving in a run. Left fielder Sammie Hawkins (.197) slugged a two-run homer for the Blasters and first baseman Dennis Cole (.316) went 4-for-5.

Colfax (45-34) has dropped two straight in the series with Volusia (40-39) and have a 5-game edge over the Vigilantes.

Redhawks Snap 4-Game Losing Skid
At Sky High Stadium in Far Mountain, the Redhawks and Elnora fought a pitched battle as Sonny Elliott and Jim Tarzetti locked up in an old-fashioned pitching duel. Far Mountain's Elliott (12-5 2.40) tossed a sensational 1-0 victory, blanking the All-Stars on just three singles and halting his team's losing streak at four. Tarzetti (0-2 2.81) got the tough loss, scattering eight hits, striking out ten and issuing five bases on balls, leaving 12 Redhawks stranded on the bases. The only run in the game came in the home half of the sixth, when third baseman Johnny Strickland (.283) tripled and was driven in by Al Nixon's (.259) single.

Second place Far Mountain (45-35) is right back on the coattails of the top team in the RU North, the Colfax Blasters (45-34). The Redhawks are just a half-game behind them. Elnora (30-50) is in last place, 15.5 games out.

A's Drub Vipers 9-1, Balfour Winner
Glasco hosted Valmara at Athletics Field and drubbed the Vipers 9-1 behind the standout performance of portsider Jesse Balfour, who throttled them on seven hits, fanned seven and walked nobody. Meanwhile, the Athletics trashed Valmara for 16 hits, spurred by left fielder Ox Beauvais (.339) with three hits and five RBIs, right fielder Lee McDougall (.270) with two hits, two runs and three RBIs and center fielder Chet Reynolds (.300) with three hits and three runs scored. Newcomer Vanya Vasylenko (1-1 5.09) had tough sledding in his second start. He was roughed up for seven runs and eleven hits in five-plus innings.

The Glasco Athletics (39-38) are tied with Volusia (40-39) for third place in the Ruthlandian Union North and trail Colfax (45-34) by 5 games. The Valmara Vipers (38-41) are in the fifth spot in the standings, 7 games off the pace.
