Tycobbian Baseball Union

TBU West Division

Lynx Hold Off Frogs
With some nifty relief work from Frank Lamoreaux, the TBU West's top club held off Fairfax at the Frog Pond 5-4. La Claire's Lamoreaux chilled down the Frogs over the last three innings on two hits and no runs. It was the fine middle reliever's first save this season. He protected the win for starter Nickie Baumgartner (2-3), who lasted six innings and permitted four runs and five hits. Jimmy Dalton (2-2) went down to defeat as he was rocked for five runs and nine hits and had to hit the shower in the sixth, when the Lynx got the final two scores. Third baseman Kenny Hall homered and collected three hits in four at-bats to pace La Claire and shortstop Dirk Lindahl has two RBIs. First baseman Ernie Hutchinson tripled in two runs for Fairfax in the sixth.

Manager Rip Calkin's Lynx (15-8) increased the division lead to 2.5 games over second place Fairfax (12-10), skippered by Harry Buckley.

Viks Rally, Top Bucs 8-6
Bayview came back from an early 6-3 deficit to whip the Bay St. Clair Buccaneers 8-6 and give them their third consecutive defeat. Second baseman Alan Hansen clubbed a two-run clout to tie it 6-6 in the sixth and third baseman Karl Benson decided it with a two-run smash in the last of the eighth. Fred Snow (2-0) recorded the victory with three excellent innings out of the bullpen. He and Manny Tettelbach kept the Bucs runless from the third inning on. The loser was Ken Kazak (0-1), who gave up the ill-fated tie-breaking blast. Hansen paced the Viking 12-hit attack with a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs scored and two driven in. Bay St. Clair countered with 13 hits and were led by catcher Jake Singleton, who went 3-5 with an RBI. Bubba Tate and Charlie Moon sparked the Bucs with two-run roundtrippers.

The Bayview Vikings (12-11) moved up to third place in the TBU West race, while the Bucs (7-15) sunk deeper in the basement. Bayview is three games in back of first place La Claire (15-8) and Bay St. Clair is 7.5 games off the pace.

Champs End Sox's 4-Game Steak
"Ace" Howe of the Arlon Champions lived up to his first name today at Derby Downs as shut down Blue Lake on five hits and beat them 4-1. That wiped out the Champs four-game losing streak and also was the Blue Sox first taste of defeat in four games. Howe (2-2) finished up with four strikeouts and two walks and outpitched one of the IPA's best, Bennie West (3-3). Blue Lake's top twirler went seven innings, struck out five, yielded three runs and four hits. It was all over in the opening frame, when left fielder Matt Merrill hammered a three-run homer. Center fielder Jerry Keller drove in the other run in the eighth.

Arlon (10-12) is in the fifth spot in the TBU West, while Blue Lake (11-11) is fourth and trail first place La Claire by 3.5 games.
