Marston Ends 4-Game Skid, Edges Rattlers 7-6
At Farmers Memorial Stadium in Sugar Valley, the Rattlers and Marston seesawed back and forth before the Nine won 7-6 and put an end to their four-game losing streak. Sugar Valley led 3-0 in the first, Marston scored five in the second inning, the Rattlers tied it up at 5-all in the sixth, the Nine moved ahead 6-5 in the seventh, only to see Sugar Valley come back and tie it. Finally in the top of the ninth after two were out, three singles produced the winning run. Third baseman Roland Thomas (.355) plated the game-winner with his third hit in the game. Catcher Mo Chappell (.310) belted a bases-loaded triple in the second inning for the winners. Ken Bagby (4-3 3.43) logged the victory with no runs allowed in the seventh and eighth. Jorge Bonilla (2-0 3.76) put the Rattlers down in order in the bottom of the ninth for his 3rd save. Jay Washington (1-1 3.18) gave up a run in two and two-thirds innings for the loss. Sugar Valley third baseman Jorge Vargas (.345) had a three-run swat, sacrifice fly and drove in 4 runs. It was his 20th homer. Left fielder Cy Bartz (.276) also doubled in two runs. The Nine outnumbered the Rattlers in base hits 11 to 6. Both starters went six innings, but Casey Ledbetter (11-4 3.69) and Hec Skurgan (0-0 5.27) were both ineffective.

First place Marston's (45-32) victory put the Nine 6.5 games up on third place Sugar Valley (39-39) in the Ruthlandian Union South race.

Even starting pitcher Herm Bahr (.343) got into the act and was 3-3 with a run and an RBI. Bahr (10-4 3.47) also got the win, going six innings, allowing three runs on five hits and fanning six. Brian Charles (3-2 4.08) got his second save with two scoreless innings. Forest City smoked Diamond pitching for seven runs in the opening frame, allowed them to get back into the game 7-5 after seven innings, then erupted again for four more runs in the top of the ninth to finish them off for good. Claxton's top hitters were left fielder Dan Molnar (.429) and catcher Pete Robinson (.204). They both homered and center fielder Arnie Kruger (.227) delivered a two-run single. Earl Weber (5-4 3.84) started and fared poorly, being shelled for six runs in the first inning. Weber was the losing pitcher.
