RBU North Division

Colfax Tightens RBU North Race
In a big battle of RBU North contenders the third place Colfax Blasters broke open a tight game with a three-run ninth to beat first place Glasco 6-2. Flash Guidry (2-3) the division's top strikeout artist, fanned 7, walked only one and spread out 10 hits to defeat the A's. Lefty Charles Darby (2-1) was the loser as he allowed 9 hits and 3 runs in seven innings of work. His relief, Jeremiah McDonald, was jolted for a trio of runs in the ninth. The big blow of the inning was a two-run blast by Dennis Cole, his 5th of the year. Colfax unleashed 13 hits and were paced by LF Blinky Brandon with 3-for-5 and 3 RBIs, 2B Tucker Hill 4-for-5, including 2 doubles with 2 runs scored and an RBI and CF Tatsuya Sasaki, who went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles.

Glasco (11-6) is still in first with Valmara (11-7) and Colfax (10-8) close by.

Zalewski Wins 4th Straight
Two of the best hurlers in the IPA were pitted against one another today at War Memorial Stadium in Valmara. Zarek Zalewski was on the hill for the homestanding Vipers and Sonny Elliott for the Far Mountain Redhawks. Zalewski (4-0) was just too good. He fanned 7 batters and blanked the Redhawks 3-0 on just four hits for his 4th victory of the season. Elliott tossed a good game and in seven innnings allowed three runs and eight hits in defeat. Floyd Vinson, Jan Kazmarek and Jan Szymanski each drove in a run with Kazmarek's coming on a homer. Zalewski completely overwhelmed Far Mountain and snapped their three-game win skein. The Redhawks got into scoring position only twice in the contest.

The Vipers (11-7) inched up to within a half-game of first place Glasco (11-6), while Far Mountain (9-9) dropped to the fourth spot and 2.5 games back in the tight RBU North Division.

V's Outslug All-Stars
It was a wild game at Silver River Stadium in Volusia. The hometown Vigilantes shot out to a 7-0 lead after five innings, Elnora rallied and evened it up at 7-7 after seven, then Volusia exploded in the eighth to make it 11-7 and they just barely hung on when the All-Stars came back with three in the ninth, But they fell short and lost it 11-10 to the V's. The teams set a new IPA mark for most doubles in a game with 9. Volusia has 6 and Elnora had 3. The old mark was 7. LF Jesus Arroyo led the slugfest with three hits and four RBIs, including a double and a home run. Scooter Perez hammered out four hits in 5 tries with 3 of them doubles. Perez tied the doubles record. He scored twice and drove in two. Lonnie Howard also had a pair of RBIs for the Vigilantes. Johnny Zumwalt went 4-for-5 for the All-Stars, while Harry Wright and Will Jackson each drove in three runs. There wasn't much pitching to speak of, but somebody had to get the win and somebody had to get the loss. Lenny Collins (1-0) was the winner and Stevie Howard (0-1) lost it.

The triumph moved Volusia (7-12) out of last place in the RBU South, a half-game in front of Elnora (6-12), who was beaten for the fifth time in a row.

RBU South Division

Marston Moves into First Place Tie
The winner of the game knew they would move up into a first place tie with the Sugar Valley Rattlers. And when the dust cleared from the diamond at Bayside Park in Belair Beach, the Marston Nine walked off the field with a 7-4 victory. Nick Pace (3-2) was the winning pitcher in spite of walking six batters. He only gave up four hits in seven innings and only two runs and left with a 6-2 lead. His relief Kenny Bagby got into trouble and was jolted around for two runs in the eighth until Milt Wilson came in and saved it. Johnny Berthold sparked the Nine offense with a homer, sac fly and 3 RBIs and Eddie Allen had three hits and two RBIs. The Sunbirds Dirk Garrett (1-4) absorbed the loss. Marston pounded him for 6 runs and 8 hits before he exited in the sixth. Nicky Swift clouted his 7th home run for Belair Beach.

Marston (10-8) is now the RBU South co-leader with Sugar Valley (10-8) and the Sunbirds (9-9) are in a second place tie with Forest City, a game out of first.

'Jacks Edge Rattlers in 11
Forest City scored five unanswered times to rally for a 6-5 extra-inning win over Sugar Valley. The Lumberjacks recovered from a 5-1 deficit after four innings to win in the eleventh. Closer Gregg Neal (1-2) walked Chuck Hill with the bases loaded to send the first place Rattlers down to defeat. It was the fifth walk in the game for Hill, a new IPA mark. In all, Sugar Valley issued 11 walks, which toppled the old record set by Far Mountain on April 27. Hill and Benny Davis paced Forest City with 2 RBIs apiece. Davis got his on a two-run homer, number 5 on the year. Ricky Mitchell also slammed one for the 'Jacks. Cy Bartz doubled in two runs for Sugar Valley and pitcher Ron Benson slapped a two-run homer.
Forest City got excellent relief work from Herm Bahr, Glenn Moore and winning pitcher Timmy Brooks (1-0). They held the Rattlers to just one hit over the last 7 innings.

Sugar Valley is still atop the RBU South and tied with Marston, both have a 10-8 mark. Forest City evened their record at 9-9, just one game out of first place.

Westerners Eke Out 11-Inning Win
The Waleska Westerners made the tightly-bunched RBU South even tighter with an 11-inning win over Claxton at Avalon Stadium. Manager McGraw Johnson's ballclub is tied for second with Forest City and Belair Beach, just one game out of first. 1B Freddie Shelton was the hero with a game-winning two-run double off loser Chris Gallagher (0-2). That gave Andrei Marsiske (2-0) the victory. Shelton led Waleska with three RBIs and LF Charley Williamson rapped a two-run roundtripper. The Diamonds outhit the Westerners 16 to 12 with LF Winky Rush heading the list with three doubles and two RBIs and 2B Donny McCoy chalked up three hits, including a pair of doubles and two RBIs.

Waleska (10-10) is tied with the Forest City Lumberjacks (9-9) and Belair Beach Sunbirds (9-9) for second place, one game in back of Sugar Valley (10-8) and Marston (10-8).
