Ruthlandian Union - South Division

Waleska Bombs Marston 9-5
Waleska went wild in the 7-run fifth to bomb first place Marston 9-5 at Legends Field. The Westerners unloaded 12 hits and three homers to pound out an easy triumph. Right fielder Charley Williamson (.316) hit a two-run blast in the fourth and first baseman Freddie Shelton (.295) and center fielder Rick Vaughn (.300) rapped three-run homers in the fifth inning. On the mound Smokey Joe Carter (17-13) got credit for the win, going eight innings and surrendering five runs and eight hits, but only three were earned. Lenny Milazzo (0-1 3.97) staggered through the last inning by loading the bases, but got out of it unscathed. Nine first baseman Chuck Barrett's (.268) 10th home run gave Marston a short-lived 4-2 lead in the fourth. After that, it was all downhill for the Nine.

First place Marston (81-60) is 16 games ahead of the fourth place Westerners (65-76).

Wolf's 3-Run HR Lifts 'Jacks Over Rattlers 4-1
At Riverside Stadium in Forest City, the Lumberjacks rode the right arm of Glenn Moore and the big bat of Jesse Wolf to a 4-1 triumph over the Sugar Valley Rattlers. Moore went the distance, gave up only five hits, fanned four and walked two. Only Tommy Sonnier's (.262) 17th homer spoiled his shutout. All of Forest City's runs came via the longball. First baseman J. T. Edmonds (.296) hit number 18 in the fifth to put the Lumberjacks up 1-0. Wolf (.288) powered a three-run homer in the sixth to seal the victory. It was his 32nd of the season. Loser Stan Lamoreaux (12-9 4.64) also pitched a complete game, yielding five hits, while striking out six and issuing two bases on balls.

Forest City (75-66) is the number two club in the RU South and Sugar Valley (74-67) is third. The Lumberjacks are 6 games in back of the top team, the Marston Nine (81-60). The Rattlers are 7 games behind in the race.

Claxton's Garland Outduels Sunbirds Thompson 1-0
In a wonderful performance Claxton's 19-year-old righthander Ernie Garland outdueled Belair Beach's 30-year-old southpaw Carl Thompson 1-0. Both pitchers allowed five hits each. The only difference was a first-inning run. Third baseman Keith Olsen (.306) singled in second baseman Donny McCoy (.326) for the game's only score. Garland (2-2 2.70) fanned seven and walked only two, while Thompson (15-15 3.03) whiffed five and issued three bases on balls.

The victory moved the Diamonds (64-77) into a tie for fifth place with the Sunbirds in the RU South standings. The two clubs are 17 games out of first place.
