RBU North Division

Darby Fires Another Shutout
Young lefthander Charles Darby (2-0) of the Glasco Athletics fired his second successive shutout and blanked Far Mountain 3-0 on 5 hits, struck out 7 and walked just 1 in another superlative outing. A's skipper McDuffie Hughes say the stocky 21-year-old pitcher is pure magic on the mound. "I've never seen such poise in a youngster in all my years in baseball." The Redhawks got a good start from John Luzzatti (0-1), who yielded only 2 runs and 7 hits in 7 innings. Luzzatti allowed no earned runs in the defeat. Glasco's first sacker Lou McCarley banged out 3 hits in 4 at-bats and drove in 2 runs. Second baseman Barry McCord went 2-for-4 with an RBI.
Glasco improved to 6-2 on the year, while Far Mountain dropped to 4-4 in the RBU North race. The A's are tied for first in the RBU North with the Valmara Vipers. The Redhawks are in third place tie with the Colfax Blasters.

Vipers Manning Stops Blasters
Valmara's stylish lefty Harry Manning fashioned a fine 5-3 victory over Colfax at the Diamonds home field at Mountain View Stadium. He tossed a 4-hitter for his first win of the season. A 4-run outburst in the fourth, highlighted by Pat Lott's base-clearing bases-loaded double, put the Vipers in the winner's circle.
Chuck Kowalczyk (1-1) sustained the loss, allowing 4 runs and 5 hits in 4 innings. Manning (1-0) gave up only 1 earned run, struck out 3 and issued 5 bases on balls.
Valmara pushed their record to 6-2 to tie the Glasco Athletics for the top position in the RBU North. Colfax dipped to 4-4 and remained in the third spot, tied with the Far Mountain Redhawks.

All-Stars Sneak by Vigilantes 4-3
For the second day in a row Stevie Howard got the call from the bullpen and for the second straight day he did his job -- he saved the game for Elnora. The All-Stars sneaked by Volusia at home 4-3. Quincy Peterson and Art Atkins both belted 2-run homers to account for the scoring and manager Zoggy White got some excellent relief pitching from Wally Tidwell and Howard. They held the Vigilantes scoreless over the last 3 innings. The victory went to starter Troy Hudson (1-1), who hurled 6 innings, gave up 5 hits and 3 runs. Lee Flores (0-2) went the route for Volusia and lost another game. He allowed 7 hits, 4 runs, fanned 3 and walked 2. The V's center fielder Domingo DeLeon went 2-for-5, including a home run.
Fifth place Elnora ran their record to 3-5 on the year in the RBU North Division, while cellar-dwelling Volusia continued to struggle at 1-7.

RBU South Division

FC Pounds Marston Nine
The Forest City Lumberjacks made the Riverside Stadium crowd happy today with an easy 10-4 triumph over the first place Marston Nine. The 'Jacks unleashed a 14-hit barrage with Pops Keller, Chuck Hill, Ryan Morse and Jesse Wolf leading the attack. Keller drove in 4 runs, Hill 3 and Wolf 2. Morse slammed a homer, had 4 hits in 5 tries and scored 4 times. Forest City got decent pitching, too, from Ernie Hill (1-1). The young 21-year-old southpaw pitched a complete game, scattering 9 hits, permitting 4 runs, fanning 4 and walking 3. Only 3 runs were earned.
For the season first place Marston falls to 6-3 in the RBU North Division and fifth place Forest City improved to 3-5.

Rattlers Rip Sunbirds 14-7
Sugar Valley didn't outhit Belair Beach, but they certainly made the most of their hits to win in a runaway 14-7. The Rattlers had 14 hits to the Sunbirds 15, but they had 7 extra base hits to only 2 for Belair Beach. LF Paul Winston headed the list of hitters with 3-3, including 2 doubles, 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored, RF Karl Dietz had 3 doubles, a new IPA record, and 2 RBIs and 3B Jorge Vargas went 3-for-5, scored 4 and drove in one. Top batters for the Sunbirds were CF Marty McDermott 3-5 and 3 runs scored, 2B Rick Sullivan 3-5, 2 RBIs and 2 runs and Danny Church 2-5 with 2 RBIs.
Ricky Fox(1-0) got the win, but it was a struggle. He gave up 7 runs on 14 hits before being relieved with two outs in the ninth by Jay Washington. Belair Beach got to him for 5 runs in the final three frames. Slim Mosley (1-1) took the loss and was gone by the second inning, being ripped for 6 runs.
Both clubs are tied for the number two spot in the RBU South standings with 5-3 records.

Westerners Carter Blanks Claxton
Waleska's Smokey Joe Carter had his stuff working well today and he crafted a 3-0 shutout victory over the Claxton Diamonds at Westerner Field. Carter (2-2) blanked them on 7 hits, while fanning 3 and walking 2. Home runs accounted for all of the Westerners runs. SS Wiz Taylor hit a one-run shot in the third and 2B Yoshihide Nishida smacked a 2-run job in the fifth, both off losing pitcher Terry Kuznetzov (0-2).
In the RBU South race Waleska is now 4-5 and Claxton is 2-6. The Westerners are in fouth place, while the Diamonds are in the basement.
