Tycobbian Baseball Union

TBU East Division

Hurricanes Zip by Z's 6-4
First place Cape Coral got a good performance from Kaz Hayagawa in the 6-4 win at De la Vega Stadium in Luxora. It was the Hurricanes fourth victory in a row. Hayagawa (3-0) tossed 8 innings, surrendered 7 hits and 4 runs, only 2 earned. Losing pitcher Eddie Castillo (0-3) exited in the seventh after permitting 6 runs and 7 hits. He was plagued by wildness. Castillo walked 8 batters. 1B Rodger Wooten put the Hurricanes ahead to stay with a 2-run homer in the seventh. CF Antonio Guerrero laced 3 hits in 4 at-bats and had 2 RBIs. Tom Fortunato did the most damage for the Zorros with a solo home run. Katsuyuki Nagashima had a rocky ninth -- he loaded the bases -- but got out of it with no harm done. It was his 3rd save this season.

The win gave first place Cape Coral an 11-6 mark on the year, while the Z's (7-9) suffered their third successive setback to fall 3.5 games off the pace.

Ray Hurls Nats Past 'Cats
Ozarka wrapped up their third consecutive victory by whipping Hartsdale 5-3 and moving into a tie for the second spot in the division. Righthander Louie Ray (2-1) went the distance, struck out 7, walked no one, while permitting 9 hits. 3B Doug Cunningham socked two homers and drove in 3 runs and 1B Fred Snow doubled in the other two. Roger Graves (1-3) took the loss for the Hellcats and was knocked out in the sixth after yielding 5 runs. The Naturals were up 5-1, when in the ninth 1B Todd Seals made it close with a two-run shot.

The triumph put Ozarka (9-7) in a second-place tie with Hartsdale (9-7) in the TBU East. The two clubs trail division-leading Cape Coral by 1.5 games.

Ninjas Nip Stallions
The Ginza Ninjas got a comeback 5-4 win over the South Fork Stallions by scoring 2 in the eighth and dealt them a fourth straight loss. 3B Kaz Ojima tied it with a double, then 2B Scoop McDonald punched in the game-winner with a single. Reliever Alex Sasek (1-0) got credit for the victory by holding the Stallions runless in his 2+ innings. He came in for the laboring Kojiro Matsumoto in the seventh. Matsumoto was tagged for 4 runs and 6 hits before his departure. Control was the culprit. He walked 7 batters. Sloppy defense hurt him as the Ninjas gave the Stallions 3 unearned runs. Jamie Kelly (0-2) suffered the loss for South Fork. He allowed 5 runs and 9 hits in his 7 innings.

RF Charlie Campbell had a base-clearing bases-loaded double in the third for Ginza. CF Gene Woodruff drilled two hits for the Stallions and had 2 RBIs.

Ginza (8-8) is 2.5 games behind the TBU East's top team, the Cape Coral Hurricanes (11-6). The Ninjas are in fourth place in the standings. South Fork (5-12) is in last place.

TBU West Division

Lynx Top Bucs 6-3
Bay St. Clair jumped out early 3-1, but couldn't hold on. The Bucs faded in the late innings and first place La Claire took command and the game 6-3. The Lynx tallied two in the eighth and two more in the ninth to nail it down. Frank Lamoreaux (3-0) got his third victory of the season with three scoreless innings. He relieved starter Nick Pilsner, who left in the sixth trailing 3-2. Lefthander Sean Lawrence (0-1) lost it. He went 8 innings, allowed 7 hits and 4 runs, fanned 6 and walked 3. Lawrence only surrendered two earned runs.
Darrell Boyce plated the winning runs with a 2-run single in the seventh. Rich Hart also have a pair of RBIs for La Claire. Maury Smith had 2 hits and 2 RBIs for the Buccaneers.

The Lynx improved to 12-5 and are on top of the TBU West race. Bay St. Clair is still stuck in the cellar with a 5-11 mark.

Bayview Bombs Fairfax
Dwayne Coleman is a giant of a man -- he stands 6'8" tall -- and he swings a mean bat. Just ask the Fairfax Frogs. Coleman smashed two homers and drove in 5 runs to pace Bayview to an easy romp over the second place Frogs 15-7. The huge Viking first baseman now is tied with Fairfax's right fielder Gregg Vincent for the home run lead in the TBU with 9. His last one was a grand slammer in the 9-run seventh inning. The win went to starter Jesus Carvajal (1-1), who departed in the seventh leading 7-4. Buzzy Lewis got his third save, but he gave up 3 runs in 2 innings. Jack Leslie (2-2) lost it for Fairfax.

LF Glenn Burns chipped in 3 RBIs for Bayview and 2B Alan Hansen went 3-for-4 and scored twice.

The Vikings (8-9) have won three in a row and are now in fourth place, 4 games in back of first place La Claire (12-5). Fairfax (9-7) is in second place, 2.5 game behind the leader.

Champs Stomp Sox
Wow! What a day for the Arlon Champions and Jerry Keller. The Champs stomped Blue Lake 16-3 as Keller led the hit parade by going 6-for-6, including 2 roundtrippers and three doubles. Keller drove in 7 runs and scored 4 times in the best batting performance in IPA history. Arlon piled up 20 hits in the thrashing. Manager Cobb Tyson of the Blue Sox did not speak to reporters after the game, but it is rumored he had a few choice words for his ballclub. Cobb closed the clubhouse to the reporters.

Third place Arlon (9-8) remained three games behind first place La Claire (12-5), while the fifth place Blue Sox (7-10) trail by 5 games.
