Ruthlandian Union - North Division

Blasters Dump Vigilantes, Manning Wins 11th
Southpaw Harry Manning won his 11th game of the year, stopping Volusia 8-2. He also put an end to first place Colfax's brief two-game skid and snapped the Vigilantes four-game winning streak. Manning has won his last six decisions. He only gave up five hits, but was a little on the wild side with six walks. The Blasters punched out a dozen hits and were led by left fielder Blinky Brandon (.306) with 3-4, two runs and an RBI, right fielder Pat Lott (.268) with a three-run double, shortstop Josh Jackson (.262) 2-4 with two RBIs and first baseman Dennis Cole (.316) with a two-run homer, number 22 of the season. Raul Sandoval (7-9 3.79) was tagged with the defeat, working into the sixth and giving up six runs.

Colfax (46-34) is the top team in the RU North Division and is 6 games up on fourth place Volusia (40-40).

FM Redhawks Edge Elnora , Luzzatti Winner
The second place Far Mountain Redhawks edged the Elnora All-Stars 2-1 on the strength of John Luzzatti's four-hitter. Luzzatti (6-6 3.50) outdueled Carl Costas for the win. Luzzatti walked three and fanned two in his third complete game. Costas (4-10 3.45) allowed six hits, fanned five and walked none in another tough loss. The Elnora lefty is much better than his 4-10 record. He has gone the distance 6 times. Catcher Dave Davis (.377) provided the game-winner in the sixth, when he singled in right fielder Tommy Sonnier (.266), who had doubled. First baseman Royce Benson (.293) doubled in the first run in the first inning, plating center fielder Hawk Gallagher, who singled to lead-off the game. The All-Stars only had four singles in the game.

Far Mountain (46-35) kept pace with first place Colfax (46-34) and is only a half-game out of first. Elnora (30-51) is in last place in the division, 16.5 games behind.

Athletics Stomp Vipers 12-2, Darby Wins 11th
At Athletics Field in Glasco, Charles Darby easily won his 11th game of the season with a 12-2 stomping of Valmara. The A's pounded out 17 hits in all as the Vipers had a terrible day on the hill. Even their ace, Zarek Zalewski (9-5 2.43) took it on the chin, being shelled for five runs in less than three innings. Third baseman Zach Byorvik (.238) cracked three hits and drove in three runs, shortstop Kyle Ballentine (.306) was 2-4 with three RBIs, left fielder Ox Beauvais (.345) had three hits and an RBI and right fielder Buck Bucholtz (.400) was 3-5 with a run batted in. Darby also drove in two runs with a pair of singles. Byorvik and utility infielder Lou McCarley homered in the rout. Darby (11-6 3.20) was touched for 11 hits, but was stingy with men on base. He walked one and fanned three. Zalewski lost it and saw his ERA soar. He is 1-2 in his last five starts.

The Glasco A's (40-38) have third place all to themselves, at least for the moment. They trail Colfax (46-34) by 5 games and are one game up on fourth place Volusia (40-40). Valmara (38-42) has tumbled to the fifth spot in the Ruthlandian Union South, 8 games off the pace.
