TBU East Division

Z's Pierce Stops Hurricanes 8-1
Luxora put it all together today and walloped first place Cape Coral 8-1 behind the solid pitching of young Chris Pierce. The 22-year-old righthander limited the Hurricanes to six hits, while the Zorros lashed out a dozen hits against Kaz Hayakawa (3-1) and two relievers. Shortstop Kris Baker and left fielder Claudio Ordonez rapped in two runs each, while right fielder Tom Fortunato delivered 3 hits in 4 tries for Luxora. Fortunato and Ordonez both had solo roundtrippers.

The Hurricanes (13-8) hold the top position in the TBU East. The Zorros (9-11) are in the fourth spot in the standings and trail by 3.5 games.

SF Blanks Nats Behind Olsen
In a standout performance Ken Olsen, a big 6'5" fireballer for the South Fork Stallions, powered his way past Ozarka 3-0 at Jock Ewing Stadium. Olsen fanned nine Naturals and blanked them on six hits. He only walked two batters in the contest. Bob Jones, the Stallions second baseman, had a perfect 4-for-4 day at the plate and scored twice. Center fielder Gene Woodruff was 3-4 with a pair of RBIs. The losing pitcher was starter Yasuyuki Nakagawa (3-1), who worked six excellent innings and allowed only one run and five hits.

The loss cost Ozarka (12-9) a chance to move into a first place tie with Cape Coral (13-8), while South Fork (9-13) is slowly working its way out of the TBU East basement.

Ninjas Whitewash Hellcats
Ginza's little 5'6" Kazuhiro Nakayama stood mighty tall on the mound today when he shut out Hartsdale 2-0 at Ninja Stadlum. He restricted the Hellcats to seven hits, only fanned one batter and walked three. Nakayama (2-3) outdueled Danny Griffin (2-4), who pitched well, too. Griffin gave up no earned runs and three hits in six innings and then departed for a pinchhitter. The Ninjas got the only runs in the game in the second inning. An error by shortstop Mike Burke allowed the first run in and a sacrifice fly by second baseman Toshiro Nomura plated the second one. Ginza got only four hits in the game, but it was enough.

The Ninjas (10-11) and Hellcats are now tied for third place in the TBU East Division, three games out of first.
