North Division

Vipers Set IPA Records
The Valmara Vipers completely destroyed the Elnora All-Stars at State Fair Park, breaking the IPA marks for most runs and most hits in the 19-3 massacre. Chuck Kowalczyk fanned 8 in a route-going performance for the club's fourth victory in a row. Jan Kazmarek, Floyd Vinson and Jan Szymanski were the Vipers big guns with 3 RBIs apiece. Even backup shortstop Mike Ellefsen got into the act with a grand slam in the ninth in his only at-bat.
Valmara set records for 22 hits and 19 runs, breaking the old marks held by Claxton (19) and Marston (15). The Vipers and All-Stars also combined to set a new mark with 22 total runs between them. Claxton and Sugar Valley held the old record with 20 runs in a game.
Valmara is still unbeaten this year and the Diamonds are winless in four games.

Glasco's Darby Blanks Volusia
The Glasco Athletics got an outstanding game out of 21-year-old righthander Charles Darby, who whitewashed Volusia 1-0 on 5 hits with 9 strikeouts. Shortstop Zach Byorvik delivered the winning blow with a second-inning homer. Leo Flores almost matched Darby except for the roundtripper. Flores went 7 strong innings and yielded only 5 hits.
The A's have won three of the four games in the series at Athletics Field.

Blasters Barely Beat Redhawks
Colfax got its first win of the season, but it wasn't easy. The Blasters took a 7-1 lead after seven innings and almost didn't survive. Far Mountain mounted a 6-run explosion in the eighth and came close to pulling it out, but Robbie Smith set them down in order in the ninth for the save and the 8-7 win. Pat Lott and Vic Boldt led the Blasters attack. Lott had 2 hits and 3 RBIs, while Boldt had 2 hits and 2 RBIs. Dennis Cole drilled his 2nd home run of the year for Colfax.
The Redhawks roughed up Blaster pitchers for 18 hits, but wasted too many of them, especially in the first seven frames. Johnny Strickland was 3-5 with 3 RBIs and his 4th home run, Gerald Davis added 3-6 and 3 RBIs, including a roundtripper and Al Nixon chipped in 3 more hits -- but to no avail.
Far Mountain's record fell to 3-1 on the year with Colfax improving to 1-3.

South Division

Unbeaten Marston Wins 5th Straight
The Marston Nine are making it look easy so far in the Islandian Pro Alliance. They have registered five successive wins and are in first place in the Ruthlandian South Region. Cody Hill won his second game of the young season by whipping Waleska 8-2. Hill lasted into the eighth when he weakened and needed help from the bullpen. Jorge Bonilla got the last four outs for him. Smokey Joe Carter lost for the second time to Hill, allowing 4 runs and 9 hits in 6 innings.
The top Nine hitters were Ken Green 3-for-5 with a homer and 2 RBIs and Johnny Berthold with a double and triple and a pair of RBIs.
The Westerners have now lost all five games this season.

BB Smacks 'Jacks 9-8
First baseman Nickie Gulino smashed a pair of home runs and drove in 5 runs to spark Belair Beach to a 9-8 victory over Forest City. The Sunbirds jumped out to an 8-0 lead and just managed to win it. Closer Lou Zanelli came in with the tying run on first and no outs and retired the Lumberjacks 1-2-3 to nail down the verdict and chalk up his first save of the year. Ricky Mitchell had quite a game for the 'Jacks with 4 RBIs and 3-for-4 at the plate. Neither starter was effective. 6'10" Slim Mosley was the winner, while Ernie Hill took the loss.
The Sunbirds improved to a 3-1 record, while Forest City dipped to 1-3.

SV Slaughters Claxton 15-6
All went well for the Sugar Valley Rattlers today at Farmers Memorial Park. They took the shine off of the Claxton Diamonds by overwhelming them 15-6, setting a new IPA mark for most runs in a game. A 13-hit rampage and nice pitching by southpaw Tony Michelet insured the victory. Karl Dietz and Jorge Vargas both drove in 3 runs to pace the offense with Freddie Vaux tossing in a two-run roundtripper and 2 RBIs. Michelet fired 8 innings and allowed only two runs and claimed the win.
The two-team total of 21 runs also set a new league record.
It was the Rattlers third win in four games against Claxton.
