Tycobbian Union - East Division

Nats Rebound in 10th, Now in First Place
The Ozarka Naturals have taken over first place from Luxora by a game in the TU East race. They did it with a stirring ten-inning 7-6 victory over the fifth place Hartsdale Hellcats on the road. It was Ozarka's fourth consecutive win. First baseman Floyd Snow (.270) was the hero with a solo homer to decide it. It was Snow's 8th of the season. Alec DiMaggio (5-2) notched the win by getting the last five outs. Adam Falkenbach (0-1 4.11) sustained the loss, yielding two hits and a run in two-plus innings. Ozarka had 12 hits to Hartsdale's 10 with Nats third baseman Doug Cunningham (.247) hitting his 14th roundtripper and driving in two runs. Starring for the 'Cats were first baseman Todd Seals (.224) with 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs and right fielder Mel Poe (.211) with two hits and two RBIs. Both Seals and Poe hit homers. Third sacker Whiz Weaver (.297) collected three hits in four tries and scored three runs.

Ozarka improved to 23-17 this year and Hartsdale dropped to 18-22.

Stallions Harrison Knocks Zorros Out of Top Spot
South Fork's Jerry Harrison extended Luxora's losing streak to four with a 4-3 victory. Harrison (3-3 3.27) scattered eight hits and went the distance, struck out six and walked none in a fine effort and knocked the Zorros into the second spot in the division. Shortstop Bobby Riley (.271) had a two-run triple to spark the Stallions 9-hit attack. Lefty Francisco Fernandes (4-3) sustained the loss in a poor outing. South Fork raked him for all nine hits and all of the runs in just four innings of work.

Then the Hurricanes gave it away on an error in the tenth and lost 9-8, Third baseman Kaz Ojima (.325) led off the inning with his fourth hit of the game and moved to second on a grounder, then scored the winning run, when reliever Katsuyuki Nagashima (1-4 2.95) committed a two-base throwing error. Toshiharu Ito (1-1 3.32) was the winner with no runs allowed in one-plus innings. Ojima got his first homer of the season. a three-run shot in the third inning.
