Ruthlandian Union - South Division

Sweet Win for Sugar Valley
Sugar Valley and Belair Beach opened up a five-game set at Bayside Park between two of the contenders in the RU South. In game one Sugar Valley got a sweet 4-1 win from Ron Benson, the 25-year-old righthander, and climbed up ahead of everybody into first place. Benson (6-2 1.99) limited the Sunbirds to just five hits with 9 strikeouts and no walks in a fine outing. The Rattlers got eight hits and were led by shortstop Flipper Bird (.264) with a two-run triple. Third baseman Jorge Vargas (.333) and left fielder Cy Bartz (.281) batted in the other two runs. Belair Beach's only score came off of third baseman Mike Janocko's (.300) eighth-inning roundtripper. Picking up the loss was starter Troy Wilson (2-4 3.86), who lasted until the three-run eighth. He walked two, fanned five, gave up five hits and three runs.

Sugar Valley (19-15) slipped past Belair Beach (19-16) by a half-game in the race for the top spot in the division. The Sunbirds are now tied with Marston (19-16) for the second spot.

Marston Falls from First 5-2
Last place Claxton knocked off the Marston Nine 5-2 and dropped them into a second place tie with Belair Beach. 19-year-old Dennis Scott (2-4 3.99) checked the Nine on eight hits and went the distance. Scott finished up the game with seven Ks and two walks. The Diamonds backed him up with a solid 11-hit attack, sparked by center fielder Wayne Wilson(.289), who went 2-for-3 with a double and four RBIs. First baseman Johnny Berthold (.244) did the most damage for Marston with a two-run homer, his 9th this year. Paul Azard (3-1 1.83) lost for the first time as he was tagged for ten hits in six innings and permitted four runs.

The Sugar Valley Rattlers (19-15) are now perched on top of the RU South Division, just a half-game ahead of Marston (19-16) and Belair Beach (19-16).

Waleska Cuts Down Lumberjacks 7-5
It looks like a rout halfway through the game at Westerner Stadium in Waleska. The hometown Westerners jumped out to a 7-0 lead, but then Forest City rebounded and made it close. Waleska hung on for a 7-5 victory, paced by first baseman Freddie Shelton's (.309) two homers and three RBIs and left fielder Big Hoss Burkhalter (.296), who drove in two with his 10th roundtripper. Second baseman Jesse Wolf (.309) and right fielder Benny Davis hit their 12th and 9th homers of the season for the Lumberjacks. The winning pitcher was Rusty Kraft (3-3 4.56), who muddled through seven innings and allowed five runs and eight hits. Buddy Kennedy (1-3 4.42) registered his 2nd save with a good relief job. He held Forest City without a hit or run in final two innings. Kennedy fanned four. Racking up the defeat was Glenn Moore (3-1 3.11), the 'Jacks starter. The Westerners assaulted him for seven hits and four runs in four innings.

Waleska (18-18) is fourth in the RU South Division and Forest City (17-19) is in the fifth spot.
