Tycobbian Baseball Union

TBU East Division

'Canes Takes Z's 4-3 in 11
After trailing 3-0 Luxora after five innings, Cape Coral creeped back to win it in eleven innings 4-3. First baseman Rodger Wooten drilled a double off losing pitcher Roberto Martinez (2-1) to score James Middleston from third. Doug Lyons (1-2) tossed two scoreless innings for the victory. It was a well-pitched game as starters Owen Pruitt (Hurricanes) and Francisco Fernandes (Luxora) both worked eight innings. Fernandes departed in the ninth, when he gave up a lead-off triple to pinchhitter Bobo Hatfield. Martinez came in from the bullpen and wild-pitched the tying run in. He pitched well and gave up only one run in three inning and struck out four batters.
There were two homers in the game. Right fielder Tom Fortunato jacked out his 3rd for the Z's -- it was a two-run shot in the first inning. Left fielder Rod Kelly collected his 6th of the season in the eighth to bring Cape Coral within one run, 3-2.

The Hurricanes (13-7) are back leading the TBU East with a game lead over second place Ozarka. Luxora (8-11) is in the fifth spot in the division standings and trail Cape Coral by 4.5 games.

Hellcats Snap Nats 6-Game Win Streak
All things, both good and bad, must come to an end as Hartsdale put an end to Ozarka's six-game winning streak 5-2 and at the same time stopped their four-game losing streak. The Hellcats used a trio of pitchers to do it. Phil Reed (4-0) got credit for the victory and held the Naturals to just one hit and no runs over the first five frames, but was taken out in the sixth because of pain in his lower back. Roger Graves retired the side in the sixth and left for a pinchhitter and closer Gene Young got his third save, despite giving up a two-run triple to Teddy Braun in the eighth. Ozarka's Louie Ray suffered the defeat, allowing five runs and eight hits, before being knocked out in the four-run seventh. Right fielder Marty Poe paced the Hellcats at bat with three RBIs and his third roundtripper. Third baseman Whiz Weaver also had a two-run home run, number three for him on the year.

The defeat dropped Ozarka (12-8) down to second place, one game behind TBU East leader, the Cape Coral Hurricanes (13-7). Third place Hartsdale is now 10-10 and three games out of first.

Ninjas Upend Stallions
The Ginza Ninjas put a stop to their three-game losing streak at Jock Ewing Stadium in South Fork. They upended the Stallions 7-3 behind the strong outing of Kojiro Matsumoto (3-0). He stymied them on two runs and four hits in seven innings for his third successive victory. Ginza cranked out a 15-hit attack, led by left fielder Ronnie Graf (3-5) and catcher Katsuya Noguchi (3-5), both with a home run, two runs scored and an RBI. First baseman Kenshin Yamamoto was 2-for-5 with a two-run blast. Leading 4-3, the Ninjas broke the game open in the ninth with three runs off Ken Conner. Starter Jerry Harrison (1-2) was tagged with the loss. He yielded three runs in five innings. South Fork only had five hits in the game.

Ginza (9-11) is in fourth place in the TBU East race, while the Stallions (8-13) are still in the cellar.
