Tycobbian Union - West Division

Blue Sox Beat Frogs 2-1, Tied for First in TU West
Blue Lake finally caught Fairfax on the last day of the season with a dramatic 2-1 triumph at Harbor Stadium. Righthander Jay Clay (16-7 3.10) tossed a whale of a game, stopping the Frogs on five hits and going the distance. He outpitched Kaz Hayagawa (14-16 3.59), who suffered the loss, allowed both runs on seven hits, fanned five and issued only one base on balls. Fairfax took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the third when shortstop Warren Lee (.318) scored center fielder Billy Echevarria (.266) on a sacrifice fly. The Blue Sox retailiated with a run in the bottom of the inning. Right fielder Fred Collins (.289) led off with a triple and scored on Clay's (.193) sac fly. Collins singled with bases loaded in the fourth to drive in the winning run. Collins had three hits in the game.

Blue Lake (79-71) won its last three games to pull into a first place tie with Fairfax (79-71). They will determine the pennant winner tomorrow in a one-game playoff. Manager Cobb Tyson will send Happy McManus (5-2 2.45) to the hill for the Blue Sox and Harry Buckley will start Jackie Leslie (16-12 3.92). However, both ballclubs will be in the Elite 8 Series. The losing team will receive a wild card spot.

Lindahl's 3-Run HR Leads Lynx Past Vikings 4-2
Shortstop Dirk Lindahl led the La Claire Lynx past Bayview 4-2 with a three-run homer in the top of the ninth. Lindahl's 14th home run of the year erased the Vikings 2-1 lead and gave the win to La Claire. Winning pitcher Pat Daniels (13-11 3.56) tossed a complete game, giving up nine hits. Reliever Adrian Strom (7-5 4.84) was the losing pitcher as he surrendered the winning homer and three runs in his only inning.

Manager Walter Johanssen's Bayview Vikings (76-74) was the number three team in the TU West. They ended the year only 3 games behind Fairfax (79-71) and Blue Lake (79-71), who will play off tomorrow for the division pennant. However, both clubs will be in the Elite 8 Series, no matter who wins the regular season crown. The loser will get a wild card. La Claire (73-77) was managed by Rip Calkin to a fifth-place finish. The Lynx were 6 games behind in the standings.

Bucs Blast 4 HRs, Sink Champs 8-5
Bay St. Clair blasted four home runs and sank the Arlon Champions 8-5 at Derby Downs today. Third baseman Eddie Albrecht (.314) hit two solo shots, giving him 7 on the year. First baseman George Lyons (.261) swatted his 31st and shortstop Chuck Hankins (.307) notched his 17th. Kenny Metcalf (9-5 4.30) registered the victory, but struggled in the late innings. Metcalf gave up five runs in eight-plus innings, only six hits, but walked five, while fanning seven. Gary Robinson (6-10 4.30) came in and got the final two outs for him. Arlon third baseman Nicky Sweet (.245) had two hits and drove in two runs. Sweet slammed his 5th roundtripper this year. Second baseman Karl Detwiler (.299) slugged two doubles and batted in a pair of runs. Starter Burnell Bradford (2-4 3.82) took the loss, surrendering six runs in four innings.

It was a fourth-place finish for Arlon (75-75) and skipper Gary Louis. The Champions were just 4 games behind the TU West co-leaders, Blue Lake (79-71) and Fairfax (79-71), who will now meet in a one-game playoff to decide the pennant winner. The loser will represent the division in the Elite 8 Series, too. Bay St. Clair (68-82) rounded out the year in last place, 11 games off the pace.
