Tycobbian Baseball Union

East Division

Ninjas Matsumoto Masters SF 4-1
Ginza manager Huroko Uchiyama thinks he has a jewel in 25-year old Kojiro Matsumoto. The little 5'7" righthander chalked up his second straight win this season by stopping South Fork 4-1 on a 6-hitter. The junkballer walked 5 and fanned only 2 as he finessed his way past the Stallions. The Ninjas were sparked offensively by shortstop Shinjiro Aoki with 2 hits in 5 tries, including a 2-run triple. Right fielder Charley Campbell and left fielder Earl Conley drove in the other two runs.
Both teams find themselves in the division basement at 3-4, two games behind the TBU East leader, the Hartsdale Hellcats.

Hellcats Roar Back on Abreu's 3-Run HR
Francisco Abreu's 3-run blast in the top of the eighth put Hartsdale ahead 6-3, but his skipper Zim Donner had to endure some shaky relief pitching before the Hellcats managed to hold off the plucky Luxora Zorros 6-5 at De la Vega Stadium. The Z's had a lot of opportunities to break the game open as they left 13 runners on base. In the late innings Phil Reed tried hard to give them the game, permitting 3 hits and 2 walks in 1+ inning. Reed (2-0) was the winning pitcher, while starter Francisco Fernandes (0-1) went down to defeat. The 6'6" southpaw allowed 6 runs in 7 innings. Gene Young labored, but survived several serious threats in the last two frames. It was his first save this season.
Luxora outhit the Hellcats 12 to 8 with Tom Fortunato and Eric Richter bashing 3 hits each. Abreu was Hartsdale's most productive batter with 2-for-3 with 2 runs scored and 3 batted in.
With the victory Hartdale held on to the TBU East top position with a 5-2 mark, one game ahead of Ozarka, while Luxora falls to last place at 3-4 and into a four-way tie.

Nats Hang On, Get By 'Canes 8-6
Ozarka won the game at Seaside Stadium in Cape Coral, but the Hurricanes made them sweat a little bit with a 5-run rally in the bottom of the ninth. Until then Louie Ray (1-1) seemed headed to an easy win. The Naturals had given him an 8-1 lead going into Cape Coral's last at-bat. 4 hits and an error quickly closed the gap to 8-6 with one out. At that point, closer Jackie Cunningham relieved Ray and retired the last two batters to end the uprising.
Ozarka was led by C Billy Gibson with 3-5 and 2 RBIs, 2B Duane Starr 2-4, CF Teddy Braun 2-3 and Ray, who went 2-4 with a double and a homer and 2 RbIs.
The Hurricanes big hitter was LF Eric Smith with a double, homer and 3 RBIs.
Ozarka's victory moved them up into second place with a 4-3 record, one game off the pace of first place Hartsdale in the TBU East. Cape Coral slipped to 3-4 and are in a four-way tie for last place.

West Division

Lynx Pounce On Bucs 9-4
Hitting was the order of the day for La Claire as the Lynx lashed out 13 hits in a 9-4 romp over Bay St. Clair. 3B Luis Marquez and 2B Darrell Boyce hammered 2-run homers to pace the La Claire attack. 1B Al Tisak also drove in 2 runs. On the mound Jerry Smith (2-0) was adequate, going the distance, while allowing 9 hits. It was his second successive victory. Gary Robinson (1-1) toiled in defeat for the Buccaneers and was belted for 5 runs and 6 hits in 4 innings, but only 2 were earned.
The Lynx kicked their season mark up 6-1 and hold the top spot by two games in the TBU West race. Bay St. Clair's record is 2-5 and the Bucs are in last place.

Dalton Twirls 5-Hitter, Frogs Beat Arlon
Young Jimmy Dalton (1-0) was the whole show at the Frog Pond in Fairfax as he tamed Arlon 4-2 for his first IPA victory. The 23-year-old lefty stopped the Champs on just 5 hits, fanned 4 and walked nobody in a very impressive outing. Center fielder Gregg Vincent provided all the runs he needed with a 3-run blast in the first inning. Shortstop Warren Lee added a solo roundtripper for the Frogs in the fifth. Both of them came off losing pitcher Erik Fitrakis (0-1), who was tagged for 5 hits and 4 runs in 5 innings.
Both clubs have compiled identical 4-3 records in the Tycobbian Baseball Union West this season and are in second place, two games off the pace of the first place La Claire Lynx.

Blue Sox Bomb Viks with 5 HRs
5 homers and 15 hits made it easy for Blue Lake as they bombed Bayview 10-4. The Blue Sox were led by 1B Fred Taranto with 3 hits, including a pair of home runs and LF Donnie Frazier with a home run among his 3 hits. 2B Ken Bennett and 3B Timmy Smith also hit roundtrippers. Pete Henry (1-1) went 5 innings for his first win this season. He gave up 2 runs and 6 hits and left because of a rain delay. Jesus Carvajal (0-1) lost it, being shelled for 4 runs in 2 innings.
It was Blue Lake's second win this year against 5 losses. Bayview is 3-4. The Blue Sox are in last place in the TBU West division and trail the La Claire Lynx by four games and the Vikings are in the third spot, 3 games out .
