Tycobbian Baseball Union

TBU East Division

3 HR for Betancourt, CC Slugs Nats 13-7
What a game Roberto Betancourt had at Seaside Stadium in Cape Coral. The hard-hitting Hurricane second basement had a record-setting day with 3 home runs and 8 RBIs, both new IPA marks. That made it easy for Cape Coral to defeat the Ozarka Naturals 13-7. Kaz Hayagawa (2-0) ran out of gas at the end, but manage to get credit for the win, although surrendering 7 runs on 10 hits. Only 4 of the runs were earned. Scotty Lohmeyer got the final two outs of the game. Loser Emile Leduc (0-2) continues to struggle as he gave up 8 runs in less than 4 innings.
Both teams are 4-4 for the season. They are tied with Ginza and Luxora for second place in the TBU East, one game behind first place Hartsdale.

Zorros Zap Hellcats 7-4
Luxora got a good effort from Chris Pierce to get the best of the Hartsdale Hellcats 7-4. Pierce worked 6 innings and held the Hellcats to 2 runs and 4 hits before being removed for a pinchhitter with the score 7-2. Shaky relief from Roberto Martinez narrowed it to 7-4 in the eighth inning. Luis Gomez came in and got out of a bases-loaded jam, then retired Hartsdale 1-2-3 in the ninth. Three solo roundtrippers from Paul Hallenbeck, Claudio Ordonez and Eric Richter sparked the Zorros victory. Richter has a perfect 4-4 day. Roger Graves (0-2) caught the loss as he was rapped for 4 runs and 6 hits in just two innings.
The Hellcats hold the top spot in the TBU East race with a record of 5-3 and Luxora is tied for second with Cape Coral, Ozarka and Ginza. All are 4-4 and trail Hartsdale by a game.

Ninjas Win Pitcher's Duel 2-1 Over Stallions
Ginza only got 4 hits in the game, but they made the most of them with a 2-1 decision over South Fork. Southpaw Toshiya Tamura (1-0) outpitched a trio of Stallion pitchers. He was touched for 9 hits, but spread them out enough to whip them. Tamura had 7 strikeouts and 3 walks in the win. Jamie Kelly started and gave up only 3 hits and a run in 6 innings. He departed for a pinchhitter in the seventh with the score tied a 1-all. Billy Joe Gordon lost it in the last of the seventh when the first batter he faced, Takashi Fujimoto cranked it into the stands for the deciding run. The Ninja first baseman also drove in a run in the fourth.
Ginza evened its season mark at 4-4 and is tied for second in the TBU East standings with Ozarka, Luxora and Cape Coral. South Fork plummeled to 3-5 and rests last in the division, 2 games behind leading Hartsdale.

TBU West Division

5 Runs in 7th Wins It for Lynx
La Claire broke open a 2-2 ballgame with 5 runs in the eighth to dump Bay St. Clair 7-2. Wildness on the part of reliever Johnny Nikolsky led to the Buccaneers demise. A hit-batsman and 2 walks filled the bases with no outs to set the stage for Darrell Boyce to clear the bases with a double. The Lynx added two more scores before Ken Kazak could get them out. Portsider Andy Murray (1-0) secured the win with two scoreless frames. La Claire starter Nick Pilsner allowed 11 hits in 7 innings, but pretty much kept Bay St. Clair off the scoreboard. Bucs starter Ben Crowley pitched well with 7 Ks in 7 innings, 8 hits and only 2 runs. Nikolsky (0-1) got the loss.
The La Claire Lynx are on top of the TBU West Division with 7 wins in 8 games thus far this season. The Bucs are 2-6 and in a last place tie with Blue Lake.

Frogs Hang On to Beat Champs 6-5
Fairfax bent, but didn't break as they edged Arlon 6-5 at the Frog Pond. Winning pitcher Mel Murray (1-1) was sailing along with a 6-2 lead going into the ninth, when he wavered badly and gave up 3 runs. But closer Takehide Takahashi put a stop to the rally and got his second save of the season. The Frogs were led by CF Gregg Vincent, who hammered a homer and a triple to drive in 3 runs. He now has 5 home runs for the year, the most in the IPA. 1B Stan Cobb also chipped in a solo shot. The Champions had 3 homers, one each by CF Jerry Keller, LF Matt Murrill and 1B George Lyons. Keller has hit 4 into the stands this year.
Lefthander Pete Edgar (0-1) hurled 5 innings and allowed 5 hits and 4 runs to get the defeat.
Fairfax is in the second spot in the TBU West with a mark of 5-3, two games behind La Claire. Arlon has put up 4-4 record and is in third place with Bayview.

Viks Wells Whips Blue Sox 5-3
Righthander Frank Wells of the Bayview Vikings whipped Blue Lake 5-3 today at a full house at Downtown Plaza Stadium. Wells (2-0) went the distance and checked the Blue Sox on 7 hits, while he whiffed 2 and walked 4. Losing pitcher Travis Gallagher (0-1) also pitched the entire game and gave up a dozen hits. 1B Dwayne Coleman was a big thorn for Gallagher as he slammed a pair of homers and drove in 3 runs for the Viks. Coleman has belted 4 out of the park this season so far. SS Shorty Richards went 3-4 and got the other 2 RBIs.
In the TBU West Division race Bayview is all even at 4-4 and Blue Lake is now 2-6. The Vikings are tied for fourth with Arlon, 3 games back of first place La Claire. The Blue Sox are stuck in the cellar with Bay St. Clair, 5 games behind.
