Ruthlandian Union - North Division

Elnora's Tarzetti Zaps Colfax 8-2
Elnora manager Zoggy White is pleased with the recent addition to his starting rotation - a tall and slender 20-year-old righthander named Jim Tarzetti. In his fourth start Tarzetti (2-2 1.85) zapped the first place Colfax Blasters 8-2. He gave up eight hits, but stranded ten in a complete game. Tarzetti finished up with nine strikeouts and two walks. The All-Stars backed him up with plenty of offense. They rapped out 14 hits and beat one of the top pitchers in the IPA, Flash Guidry (10-9 2.88). Elnora got rid of him quickly with four runs in the first three innings. First baseman Paul Kesler (.371) led the way with three hits and scored twice. Shortstop Joe Norris (.219), center fielder Harry Wright (.263) and second baseman Gil Foster (.347) all had two hits each, scored a run and drove one in. Left fielder Quincy Peterson (.287) also had two RBIs. For Colfax second baseman Tucker Hill (.333) had two hits and plated both of their runs.

Colfax (49-39) is first in the Ruthlandian Union North Division and is 14.5 games in front of last place Elnora (35-54).

Redhawks Rally, Dump Vipers 8-4
Far Mountain needed a win to cut Colfax's lead in the RU North to a half-game and got it. The Redhawks rallied from a 4-2 deficit after 5 innings and came back to win it 8-4 behind the pitching of dependable Sonny Elliott and a potent 14-hit offense. Elliott (13-6 2.47), the RU leader with 13 wins and a 2.47 ERA, settled down after a rocky five innings and blanked Valmara over the final four frames. He allowed nine hits, but only two earned runs. Far Mountain was paced by catcher Dave Davis (.382), who had three hits and four RBIs, right fielder Tommy Sonnier (.266) was 4-4 and scored three times and third baseman Johnny Strickland (.294) went 3-5 and had an RBI. Viper centerfielder Jan Szymanski (.270) was just about the whole show for them. He was 2-2 with two homers, number 19 and 20, and three runs batted in. Szymanski took over the league lead with 87 RBIs. 19-year-old Vanya Vasylenko (1-2 4.83) lost it. He was tagged hard for ten hits and five runs in seven innings.

The second place Redhawks (49-40) are now only a slim half-game behind Colfax (49-39), while fifth place Valmara (42-46) slipped to 7 games off the pace.

A's Take 4th Straight in Comeback Win
A big 4-run eighth brought home Glasco's 4th straight victory as they whipped Volusia 8-6 at the Jailhouse. Left fielder Ox Beauvais (.342) tied the score at 6-6 with a two-run single, followed by first baseman Maury Smith (.347) game-winning single. Backup third baseman Rick Adkins (.204) made it 8-6 in the ninth with his 6th home run. Bullpen specialist Ray Cook (3-4 1.96) notched his 9th save this season with a scoreless eighth and ninth. Arnie McFalls (5-4 5.32) pitched one and a third innings for the victory, giving up no runs. Augie Giertych (1-2 3.38) suffered the loss in relief and was roughed up for three runs in less than an inning. The Athletics outhit the Vigilantes 13 to 10. Left fielder Winky Rush (.292) drilled three hits and drove in a pair of runs for the losers and shortstop Scooter Perez (.383) went 2-for-4 and took over the league batting lead.

Promising Glasco outfielder Buck Bucholtz (.405) was injured running the bases and may miss about two weeks with a strained hip muscle.

The Glasco A's (45-41) are in the third spot in the RU North race and trail first place Colfax (49-39) by 3 games. The Volusia V's (44-44) are fourth and are 5 games back.
