Vipers Squeeze by All-Stars
Reliever Andre Trepagnier saved the day for the Valmara Vipers with a strong four-inning relief job. He came on in the sixth for the struggling Todd Turner and shut down the Elnora All-Stars 7-6. Trepagnier allowed only one run the rest of the way to get the save. Turner picked up the win.
Both clubs had a dozen hits each. The Vipers were paced by center fielder Jan Szymanski with 2 hits, 2 RBIs and a home run. The All-Stars attack was sparked by second baseman Gil Foster and first baseman Will Jackson, each with a pair of RBIs.
Elnora starter Carl Costas took the loss, permitting 10 hits and 6 runs in 5 innings.
A's Powerball Outslugs V's
Glasco poured it on the Volusia Vigilantes today at Athletics Field and romped 12-5. The A's attack was led by Scotty McPherson with 3-for-4 and 4 RBIs, Chet Reynolds with 2-for-5 and 4 RBIs, including a 3-run home run clout and Ox Beauvais, who cracked a 2-run blast. That was more than enough runs for winning pitcher Arnie McFalls. He went all the way, gave up 11 hits, fanned 10 and walked 4.
FM's Strickland Stuns Colfax With HR in 9th
A dramatic ninth-inning comeback highlighted by Johnny Strickland three-run homer brought home an 11-8 victory for Far Mountain over Colfax. The Blasters took an 8-7 lead into the bottom of the ninth, but Redhawk closer Pat Langlais couldn't close it out. Dave Davis delivered a sac fly to tie it up, then Strickland hit the game-winner.
Strickland had two roundtrippers for the day and drove in 4 runs. Al Nixon also contributed 3 RBIs with a two-run double and and an RBI groundout.
Colfax outhit Far Mountain 13 to 12, but just didn't have the pitching to stop the Redhawks. Neither team got any pitching today. Far Mountain won despite committing four errors. None of the miscues led to any runs. That is now the IPA record for the most errors by one team in a game.
