DAILY DOWN-TO-THE-WIRE DIVISION RECAPS

REDS TAKE LEAD IN TU WEST, REDBIRDS FALTER
The IPA teams with the best overall records are both in the same division, the Tycobbian West... and only one game separates them heading into the last game of the regular season... the first place Rolling Hills Reds (94-59) are one game ahead of the second place Denton City (93-60) Redbirds... the Reds rallied in the late innings to overcome the seventh place Ozarka Naturals 5-3, while the Redbirds were beaten by the North Hills Hawks 6-4... thanks to a solid performance by Vance Dillaway (20-16/3.40), who rang up his 20th win of the season, Rolling Hills has the division lead... it's the first time in Dillaway's career he has reached that milestone... he won 19 games two years ago and 18 last season... Dillaway went the distance, striking out six and walking three, while permitting only six hits... the big blow of the game came in the four-run sixth on rookie C Lee Fountain's (.300/9 HR/71 RBI) three-run homer... Ozarka's Willis Reece (17-18/2.91) tossed a complete game and gave the Reds fits for the first five shutout innings... but they burned him in the sixth.
