Tycobbian Union - East Division

Ninjas Destroy Zorros 14-5, 5 Wins In a Row
The Ginza Ninjas are on a rampage again with a fifth win in a row. They totally destroyed Luxora at Ninja Stadium 14-4, ripping them for 20 hits. The Zorros have now lost five consecutive games. It looked good early for the Z's as they got off to a 3-0 lead after three innings, then the roof caved in. Ginza put 14 runs on the scoreboard in the next four innings to win in a walk. The Ninja bats were blazing as first baseman Kenshin Yamamoto (.298) rapped out four hits, third baseman Kaz Ojima (.320) and second baseman Scoop McDonald (.244) each had three, and shortstop Shinjiro Aoki (.283) and center fielder Takashi Fujimoto (.283) totaled two apiece. Backup backstop Kris Michel (.175) batted in five runs with a three-run homer and two sacrifice flies. Although he was battered and bruised Kojiro Matsumoto (13-4 3.05) notched his 13th win of the season. Matsumoto was whacked for five runs and nine hits in six-plus innings. He exited with a 10-5 lead. Chris Pierce (8-7 3.51) was the losing pitcher and left trailing 8-4 in the fifth frame after giving up eleven hits.

Ginza (49-37) is atop the Tycobbian Union East standings and are 9 games ahead of fifth place Luxora (39-45).

Olson Fires 3-Hitter, Stallions Win 5th Straight
South Fork roared to its fifth straight victory as Ken Olson fired a three-hitter in the 11-2 blistering of Hartsdale at Pioneer Park. Olson (9-7 2.84) struck out seven, walked two and allowed only one earned run. Pacing the Stallions offense were shortstop Bobby Riley (.259) with a three-run roundtripper and first baseman Keith Burke (.317) with a two-run jack. Losing pitcher Phil Reed (9-3 3.27) failed to get out of the second inning and was tagged for six runs and five hits in one of his worst starts of the season. A 6-run second inning pretty much decided the game. It was the Hellcats fifth setback in a row.

South Fork (46-40) is the hottest club in the division with an 8-2 record in its last 10 games. The Stallions are second in the race and only 3 games behind first place Ginza (49-37). Hartsdale (38-48) is still pulling up the rear and in last place, 11 games off the pace.

CC Conquers Nats 8-3, Robinson Wins 11th
Cape Coral erupted for three runs in the fourth inning against Ozarka to snap a 3-3 tie en route to an 8-3 triumph on the Nats home field. The big hit of the inning was a double by shortstop Bobo Hatfield that plated the eventual winning run. Hatfield (.282) homered, doubled and singled, scored twice and batted in a pair of runs. Second baseman Spook Estes (.324) also went deep for the Hurricanes. Cape Coral collected 12 hits, while southpaw Wally Robinson allowed eight hits in going the distance. He fanned eight and issued a couple of walks. Yasuyuki Nakagawa (9-9 3.35) struggled and picked up the loss. He was smacked for six runs in three-plus innings. Third baseman Doug Cunningham (.259) slammed his 22nd home run for Ozarka and first baseman Poochie Kramer (.241) hit his 5th. They accounted for all three of the Naturals runs.

The Hurricanes (44-42) are in the third spot in the TU East and trail by 5 games, while Ozarka (41-45) are 8 games out and in fourth place.
