Tycobbiian Union - West Division

Meredith Still Unbeaten, Frogs Win 8th Straight
The first place Fairfax Frogs are within one game of tying the IPA record for the most consecutive wins. The Frogs have now won eight in a row. The latest victim is the Arlon Champions, who were defeated 5-2 today at Derby Downs. Fairfax swept the five-game series. 24-year-old righthander Robby Meredith tossed a 4-hitter to gain his 6th straight win. Meredith (6-0 2.54) fanned six and allowed no walks in a fine performance. Arlon's Ace Howe (3-5 2.87) received the loss as he gave up three runs on four hits, but only one of the runs was earned. He held a 2-1 lead going into the inning, but he hurt his arm and had to be removed from the game. Bat leaders for the Frogs were right fielder Greg Vincent (.315) with a two-run homer, his 21st of the year and third baseman Stan Cobb (.366) with a pair of doubles and two runs scored. For the Champs, Smoke Zakharov (.198) hammered a solo homer and shortstop Archie Berry (.242) hit a run-scoring double.

In the clubhouse after the game, manager Gary Louis told the press that pitcher Ace Howe was injured in the game and will be out about two weeks.

La Claire holds the record most the most wins in a row with nine.

Fairfax (26-13) is the top club in the TU West and Arlon (16-23) is in the fifth spot in the division standings. The Champs have lost the last five games.

Bayview Bombs La Claire in the 12th
Bayview's center fielder Phil Kanaan and first baseman Dwayne Coleman carried the Vikings past La Claire 10-7 in twelve innings. Kanaan (.341) led the hit parade with 5-for-6, including a three-run blast in the last inning. Kanaan (.341) powered in five runs, while Coleman (.301) chipped in three RBIs. The Lynx socked 14 hits to 12 for Bayview and were led by center fielder Lucky Collins (.287) with three hits, three runs and two RBIs, third sacker Luis Marquez (.311) with 4 hits and an RBI and left fielder Rich Hart (.268), who batted in a pair of scores. Charlie Andrews (5-3 5.06) fired five innings in relief for the win. He surrendered two runs and six hits. The defeat went to Tony Nygaard (1-2 4.73), who was battered for four runs in the twelfth.

The Vikings (23-18) are in the runner-up spot in the division, four games off the pace of leading Fairfax. La Claire (20-20) fell to the .500 mark and is in third place, 6.5 games behind.

BSC's Lawrence Blanks Blue Sox 6-0
Skipper Guy Rondre's Bay St. Clair Buccaneers were very impressive on the hill and at bat today and easily beat Blue Lake 6-0 at Shoreline Park. They bashed out a dozen base hits and Sean Lawrence (2-3 3.94) shackled the Blue Sox on just three hits, while fanning seven. Three Bucs had two hits apiece -- third baseman Bobby Tracy (.300), center fielder Nickie Friedrich (.298) and right fielder Skeeter Hall (.200) -- and one had a perfect day with 3-for-3 -- first baseman Maury Smith (.362). Losing pitcher Bennie West (5-4 2.37) was torched for six runs and ten hits and knocked out of the box in the eighth.

With the win Bay St. Clair (17-23) picked up ground on Blue Lake (17-22) in the battle for last place. The Buccaneers are last and the Blue Sox are only a half-game in front of them.
