Tycobbian Baseball Union

TBU East Division

'Canes Fountain Fires 2-Hitter
In the first game of a twinbill Cape Coral's Gary Fountain fired a brilliant 2-hitter to defeat South Fork and Flint Battle 2-1 at Seaside Stadium. Fountain (3-0) fanned 9 and walked only one in an outstanding performance. His only mistake was a home run ball to LF Paul Giles in the fourth. Battle only mistake was a 2-run shot by 1B Rodger Wooten in the bottom of the fourth. Battle allowed 8 hits and had 3 Ks and one walk.

The Hurricanes (9-6) are atop the TBU East, while the Stallions (5-10) are last.

Pruitt Stops SF in CC Sweep
Cape Coral also took the nightcap 2-1 to sweep the South Fork Stallions. The Hurricanes received a fine effort from Owen Pruitt (2-0). The 31-year-old portsider checked South Fork on 6 hits, struck out 4 and walked 2. Booger Burchfield (0-2) was impressive, too. Cape Coral only managed 4 hits and one earned run off him in 7 innings. The Hurricanes only collected 5 hits in all. Cape Coral won the game in the fifth on a hit and an error to put runners on second and third. Pruitt lofted a sac fly to left and tied it up at 1-1, then an RBI-grounder by Roberto Betancourt drove in the decisive run. Two singles and a passed ball got the Stallions only score in the opening inning.

The twin wins put Cape Coral into the top position in the TBU East Division. South Fork (5-11) sunk deeper into the division basement.

Z's and 'Cats in Longest Game
Hartsdale outlasted Luxora 7-6 in 15 innings in the longest game in IPA history. The triumph enabled the Hellcats to stay a close second in the TBU East with Cape Coral. Leading off in the 15th Todd Seals got new life on an error by third baseman Rico Vina. Pinchrunner Pat Turner then stole second base and came around to score the game-winner on Steve Ward's liner past the shortstop. Phil Reed (3-0) registered the win and Eddie Hoffman (0-1) suffered the loss.
The previous mark for the longest game was the Arlon-Fairfax battle on April 29. It went 14 innings and was won by the Frogs 8-7.

The Z's outhit Hartsdale 18 to 12 as Claudio Ordonez cracked 3 hits, including a homer and a double, and 3 RBIs. Paul Hallenbeck had a double and home run in his 3 hits and Shotgun Boggs got 3 hits as well. But the Hellcats made better use of their hits. They were paced by Terry Bellino with 3-6 and 2 RBIs and Seals, who went 3-for-7 and drove in a run. Hero Ward was 2-for-6 with 2 RBIs.

The Cape Coral Hurricanes (10-6) are leading the way so far in the TBU East with the Hellcats (9-6) second, a scant half game behind. Luxora (7-8) is tied for fourth place the Ginza Ninjas (7-8).

Naturals Slip by Ninjas 5-3
Ozarka righthander Ted Didriksen (2-1) hurled solid game in his 5-3 victory over Ginza at Ellie Ewing Stadium. He fanned 3 and walked none, while stopping the Ninjas on 7 hits. 2B Duane Starr delivered the winning blow, an eighth-inng double and 3B Doug Cunningham added in a RBI-single to give the Nats a little cushion. The loser was Ken Watkins (1-1), who was treated roughly. He gave us two hits and a walk in the decisive inning. Ginza's best batter was shortstop Shinjiro Aoki with a pair of hits in 4 tries, including a double and a triple. He scored once and drove in a run.

Ozarka (8-7) moved up to the third spot in the TBU East race and Ginza (7-8) dropped into a tie with the Luxora Zorros (7-8) for fourth.

TBU West Division

Marquez Homer Wins It for Lynx
In the opening game of a doubleheader, Luis Marquez of La Claire ruined a splendid effort by Arlon's Craig Smith with a game-winning 2-run smash in the last of the eighth to give the Lynx a 3-2 victory. La Claire was gifted with all three runs as all of them were unearned. A crucial error by shortstop Bama Hartley ended up costing the Champions the game. Smith was rolling along with a 2-0 lead until Marquez's mighty blast. Smith (2-1) allowed 7 hits in 8 innings, struck out 8 and walked just one batter. The winning pitcher was Pat Daniels (2-1), who went 8 innings before going out for a pinchhitter. He scattered 8 hits and fanned four. Lynx closer Monoto Kishata got his third save with a 1-2-3 ninth.

Champs Get Split with Lynx 7-1
Arlon's power was just too much for first place La Claire in the second game of a twinbill played at Capitol Park Stadium. Three homers gave the Champions a 7-1 win and a split in the twinbill. LF Matt Merrill slugged a solo shot and CF Jerry Keller and RF Steve Barnett belted 2-run roundtrippers. Arlon Manager Gary Louis got a fine relief outing from Rod Kelley (1-1). He relieved starter Sean Dudek in the fourth with the score 2-1 and Kelley proceeded to blank the Lynx on one hit over the last 5 innings. Dudek strained a back muscle and had to be taken out. Val Krumholtz (2-1) picked up the loss as the Champs battered him for 8 hits and 5 runs in just four innings.

Arlon (8-8) is third in the RBU West, 3 games behind the Lynx (11-5).

Frogs Destroy Buccaneers 14-2
The Fairfax Frogs certainly made it easy for pitcher Mel Murray. They rattled the boards for 18 hits in the 14-2 rampage over the Bay St. Clair Buccaneers. And Murray (2-1) backed that up with a strong outing. He held the Bucs to 5 hits, walked two and fanned two, while going the distance. The Fairfax scoring machine was led by 2B Greg Inman with 3-5, a homer, double and 5 RBIs, SS Warren Lee with a 3-run roundtripper, 1B Ernie Hutchinson with 2-5, a double and 2 RBIs and RF Gregg Vincent, who was 3-5 and scored 3 times. Gary Robinson (1-2) had his worst outing of the year and sustained the loss, giving up 6 runs and 10 hits in 6+ innings.

The Frogs (9-6) are in second place in the TBU West and hapless Bay St. Clair (5-10) is in last place 5.5 games behind first place La Claire (11-5).

Bayview's Bennett Beats Blue Sox with HR
Blue Lake trailed just about the whole game, but got it together in the late innings and won the first game of a twinbill 8-7 in 11 innings from the Bayview Vikings. The Blue Sox trailed 4-1 after 4 innings and 7-4 going to their last at bat. A three-run ninth tied the score, highlighted by Donnie Frazier's 2-run homer. Ken Bennett ended it in the eleventh with a solo salvo off losing pitcher Manny Tettelbach (0-3). Derek Manetti (1-0) got Blue Lake out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the inning and was the winner.
The Blue Sox had a dozen hits in the game, led by Frazier's two home runs and 3 RBIs. Curly Harris also bashed a pair of solo roundtrippers. The Vikings feasted all day long off and peppered out 18 hits. Bob Klostermann was 4-for-5 with two doubles and two RBIs, Alan Hansen 3-for-7 with two RBIs and Phil Kanaan 3-for-6 and two runs scored.

Blue Sox Sweep Bayview Vikings
What a day for Blue Lake second baseman Ken Bennett. He got the winning hit in both games as the Blue Sox took two from Bayview. This time it was a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth that gave Blue Lake a 6-5 victory. Bennett drove in 3 runs in all with a 2-for-5 day. RF Gerry Mason and 1B Dwayne Coleman kept it close with two-run homers for Bayview. It was number 7 for Coleman. Derek Manetti (2-0) won both games in relief, while Buzzy Lewis (0-1) took the loss.

Blue Lake (7-9) snapped a three-game losing streak and are now tied for fourth place with Bayview (7-9) in the TBU East standings.
