Tycobbian Union - East Division

Ginza's Rousakis Stops Nats 5-1
Ginza righthander Vic Rousakis (11-11) stood out on the hill with an impressive 5-1 victory over the Ozarka Naturals at Ninja Stadium. Rousakis (11-11 3.77) went all the way, fanned nine and held the Nats to six hits, while giving up three walks. It was a scoreless tie for five and a half innings between Rousakis and Sid Hyder, who had a one-hitter. But the Ninjas bats broke it open in the sixth with five runs and sent Hyder (4-3 3.83) to the showers, First baseman Kenshin Yamamoto (.318) had the big hit in the inning, a base-clearing three-run double. Ozarka's third baseman Doug Cunningham (.263) had the only homer in the game, his 24th of the season.

First place Ginza (58-43) has a 9-game lead over the fourth place Naturals (49-52) in the Tycobbian Union East race.

Zorros Rally Late, Nip South Fork 4-3
The hometown Zorros hit the ball all over De la Vega Stadium for seven innings, but couldn't put a dent in the scoreboard. South Fork's Flint Battle (13-8 2.51) stranded runners right and left and had a 3-0 lead, but couldn't make it last. Luxora jumped on him for three runs in the bottom of the eighth to tie the score. Four singles and a wild pitch evened it up. Small ball won it for the Z's in the ninth. Catcher Eric Richter started the inning with a single, was sacrificed to second, advanced over to third on a ground out, then raced across the plate with the game-winner on second baseman Paco Benitez's (.252) line drive single to center. Luxora torched Stallion pitching for 14 hits, paced by Richter (.322) and left fielder Pedro Vizquel (.303) each with three hits. South Fork third basemen Glenn Holliday (.289) doubled and homered for two RBIs in defeat. Holliday now has 22 home runs for the year. Battle worked eight innings, was tagged for a dozen base hits, but left a lot of runners standed. Glenn Turnbull (6-5 3.12) took over for him in the ninth and absorbed the defeat. The Zorros got effective pitching from starter Chris Pierce (8-9 3.86), who went seven innings, fanned six, walked two and gave up three runs on five hits over seven innings. Middle reliever Andy Stevens (3-6 3.43) had a perfect eighth inning and closer Roberto Martinez (9-3 1.97) plucked the win, putting down the Stallions in the ninth, although they put two men on base and threatened to go ahead.

Second place South Fork (56-46) slipped a game further back in the standings and is now 2.5 games behind the top club, the Ginza Ninjas (58-43). Luxora (45-55) is in the fifth spot in the division and 12.5 games behind.

Hellcats Reed Masters Hurricanes 2-1
Hartsdale's 24-year-old righthander Phil Reed mastered the third place Cape Coral Hurricanes 2-1 with a very well-pitched 5-hitter. Reed (10-6 2.81) fanned five and walked none for his 10th win of the season. A single and three walks forced in a run in the first inning to put the Hellcats up 1-0. Right fielder Mel Poe (.256) got the RBI. In the fourth, catcher Rick Clark's single (.287) knotted the score at 1-1. Hartsdale won it in the seventh when third baseman Whiz Weaver (.283) walked, moved to second on a ground out and was driven in by shortstop Mike Burke's (.259) base hit. The Hellcat numbered only seven hits in the game. There were no extra-base hits. Loser Gary Fountain (7-7 4.22) worked a good game except for wildness - he walked seven. Fountain gave up only two runs on six hits.

Cape Coral (51-50) dropped 7 games out in the Tycobbian East with the loss. Hartsdale (44-57) is last and 14 games behind.
