RBU North Division

Redhawks Take Close One from A's 5-4
Trailing 4-3 going into the last of the eighth, Far Mountain won a tight victory 5-4 over first place Glasco. In all, the Redhawks rapped 4 homers with the last one by 3B Johnny Strickland deciding the outcome. It was his 6th one this season and came off losing pitcher Ray Cook (0-1), who had just come on in the eighth inning in relief of starter Charles Darby. RF Tommy Sonnier hit two of the roundtrippers and LF Joe Leroux got the other one.

Vic Vaux (2-0) registered the win with help from Doc Rutledge, who loaded the bases in the ninth, but got out of it with no damage done for his third save. Vaux tossed 8 innings, allowed 10 hits and 4 runs. He struck out 5 and walked 2. The A's got 11 hits in all, but could not come through in the clutch.

The Athletics still retain first place in the RBU Northern race with a 9-4 mark, one game up on the Valmara Vipers (8-5) and two in front of the Colfax Blasters (7-6). Far Mountain (6-7) is tied for fourth with Elnora (6-7).

Elnora Wins Rout, 18-8 over Valmara
It was the biggest offensive day in IPA history - most runs by two teams (26) - most runs in an inning (13) - and most hits by two teams (33). And when the balls stopped flying around War Memorial Stadium, Elnora had mauled Valmara 18-8. The All-Stars accounted for 19 hits and the Vipers 14 in the hitfest. Topping Elnora was C Todd Simons, who was 3-5 with 5 RBIs, SS Richie Franklin 2-4 and 4 RBIs, 3B Tomas Ventura 2-4 and 4 RBIs and 1B Will Jackson 1-4 with 3 RBIs. Ventura had a grand slammer, while Franklin and Jackson both blasted 3-run homers in the rout.

The pitchers took the day off. Ted Gray (1-2) got credit for the victory, but was knocked around for 11 hits and 6 runs in 6+ innings. Chuck Kowalczyk (1-2) started and lost it as he was ripped for 7 runs and 6 hits in 2 innings.

The old record for most runs by two teams was 22 in Valmara's 19-3 triumph over Elnora on April 24, hits by two clubs was 31 by Claxton (19) and Sugar Valley (12) in the Diamonds 14-6 win on April 22 and the biggest inning was 9 runs by Glasco in their 16-5 victory over Far Mountain on April 27.

The All-Stars improved to 6-7, tying them with Far Mountain for the fourth spot in the RBU North. Second place Valmara slumped to 8-5 and is one game behind the division leader Glasco (9-4).

Colfax Takes Tight 3-2 Game from V's
The Colfax Blasters didn't do too much blasting -- they were outhit 9 to 3 by Volusia -- but they still won the ballgame 3-2 over the Vigilantes.

Harry Manning (2-0) and Jim Dreyer combined for the victory. Manning was the winner as he went the first eight innings, permitted 9 hits and 2 runs. Dreyer picked up his first save with a scoreless ninth. Volusia's Hank Massey (1-2) pitched a strong game and surrendered only 1 earned run in a route-going performance. He whiffed 4 and walked just 2 in defeat.

RF Pat Lott of Colfax knocked in the winning score with a deep sacrifice fly in the sixth frame.

Colfax (7-6) is in the third spot in the RBU North standings and the Vigilantes (3-10) are deep in the division basement. The Blasters are two games behind Glasco (9-4) and one behind second place Valmara (8-5).
