Tycobbian Baseball Union

TBU East Division

Ozarka Zaps South Fork, Tied CC for First
Ozarka busted out in the last two innings with seven runs to zap the South Fork Stallions 9-3 at Jock Ewing Stadium. Up until then, the Nats were trailing 3-2. They shelled starter Flint Battle for four in the eighth and got three more off Glenn Turnbull in the ninth. In all Ozarka slapped out 13 hits, led by second baseman Duane Starr with 4-for-5 and 2 RBIs and third sacker Doug Cunningham with 2-for-4, including a three-run homer. The Stallions only managed six hits off Luther Hatch and Alex DiMaggio. Hatch hurled six innings, allowed six hits and three runs. DiMaggio (1-0) worked three scoreless innings and got credit for the victory. He stopped South Ford cold and held them hitless. Battle (3-3) suffered the loss as he was hit around for six runs and eight hits and departed in the eighth, down 6-3.

The Naturals climbed up into a first place tie in the TBU East Division with the Cape Coral Hurricanes. Both clubs have 13-9 records. The Stallions are last with a 9-14 mark.

Z's Squeeze by CC 2-1
Luxora's youthful righthander Keith Callahan outhurled Cape Coral's wily old lefty Wally Robinson 2-1. The 20-year-old Callahan (2-2) scattered eight hits, struck out eight and beat the 37-year-old Robinson. 1B Rick Castle accounted for the only run off of Callahan with a solo shot in the ninth. Robinson (4-2) fanned eleven batters and walked nobody in a strong outing. He yielded nine hits and only one earned run. Third baseman Rico Vina drove in both runs for the Zorros with a fifth-inning single.

Luxora improved to 10-11 on the year and is in the fourth spot in the TBU East. First place Cape Coral dipped to 13-9 and into a first place tie with Ozarka.

Ginza Outhomers Hellcats 3-2
Four home runs accounted for all of the runs in the game with both teams hitting two apiece, but Ginza got the win 3-2 over Hartsdale. It was the Ninjas third victory in a row. Center fielder Takashi Fujimoto hit a two-run roundtripper in the third inning for the Ninjas and right fielder Charlie Campbell hit the game-winner in the fifth. Third baseman Whiz Weaver and second baseman Francisco Abreu hit solo shots for the Hellcats. Righthander Vic Rousakis (2-3) pitched a whale of game and limited Hartsdale to just four hits. He fanned eight and walked only two. The defeat went to Hellcat starter Glenn Mann (2-3), who left after six frames and gave up three runs on seven hits.

Ginza (11-11) now has sole possession of third place in the TBU East, two games behind the co-leaders, Cape Coral and Ozarka. It was a tough loss for Hartsdale (10-12). The Hellcats are now in fifth place, but only three games back.
