Tycobbian Baseball Union

TBU East Division

CC's Robinson Too Much for Z's
37-year-old vet Wally Robinson of Cape Coral pitched another jewel as he three-hit the Luxora Zorros 4-1. Robinson (4-1) snagged his fourth win of the year and finished up with 6 strikeouts and a pair of walks. It was the Hurricanes fifth straight victory and the Z's fourth consecutive defeat. On the losing side of the ledger was youngster Keith Callahan (1-2). The 20-year-old righthander had a decent outing, yielding 4 runs and 6 hits in 8 innings. Callahan walked only one and whiffed 6. Home runs cost him the game as first baseman Rodger Wooten, left fielder Rich Kelly and second baseman Roberto Betancourt accounted for all the runs.

Cape Coral (12-6) remains in first place in the TBU East with Luxora (7-10) in the fifth spot, four game behind the leader.

Hellcats No Match for Hatch
Ozarka is on a roll. The Naturals have won five in a row with their latest victim being the Hartsdale Hellcats. Luther Hatch (4-1) whipped them 6-2 on a solid 6-hitter. Hatch chalked up his fourth win this season and had 6 strikeouts and one walk. Ozarka walloped three homers off loser Glenn Mann (2-2), who gave up only 4 hits, but was tagged for 4 runs in six innings. Second baseman Duane Starr, left fielder Ronnie Patterson and shortstop Gil Lantz all belted roundtrippers. In a lost cause second baseman Francisco Abreu got his 7th homer this year.

The Naturals (11-7) kept pace with first place Cape Coral (12-6) in the TBU East Division and trail them by only one game. The Hellcats (9-8) are 2.5 games out and are in the third spot in the standings.

Holliday Grand Slam Hammers Ninjas
It has been a frustrating season for South Fork third sacker Glenn Holliday -- but not today -- he did what he is paid to do -- drive in runs. Holliday is batting only .234, but sent one into orbit with the bases full of South Fork Stallions to whack Ginza 6-2 today at Jock Ewing Stadium. He hit it off losing pitcher Vic Rousakis, who had a dismal day, giving up 4 hits and 6 runs in just 2 innings. The winner for the Stallions was Flint Battle (3-2). He stopped the Ninjas on 7 hits and went the route.

Ginza (8-10) is in fourth place in the TBU East, four games out of first place, while South Fork (7-12) is still in last place.
