Ruthlandian Baseball Union

RBU South Division

Sunbirds Sneak by Marston
Belair Beach trailed 5-2 after seven innings, but rallied late to beat the first place Marston Nine 6-5 in ten innings at Legends Field. In the eighth right fielder Nicky Swift (.311) evened the score at 5-5 with his second homer of the game, a two-run shot. Then in the tenth, center fielder Matty McDermott (.327) belted the game-winner off losing pitcher Vinnie Gardner (0-1). Lou Zanelli (3-0) earned his third win of the season with three scoreless innings. Swift was 3-for-4 with four RBIs. Shortstop Don Nichols (.200) had a bases-loaded triple for the Nine.

Marston (14-11) had its three-game win streak against the Sunbirds (12-13) snapped. The Nine are on top of the RBU South, a half-game in front of second place Sugar Valley (13-11) and third place Waleska Westerners (14-12). Belair Beach (12-13) is fifth, trailing by two games.

Westerners Prevail Over Rattlers
The close RBU South Division just got a little closer as third place Waleska tripped up the Sugar Valley Rattlers 4-1 and bumped them down to the second spot in the standings. Gary Hill (3-0) notched his third victory this year by scattering eight hits over eight innings. Hill had six strikeouts and three walks in a good outing. Joe Harrell got him out of trouble in the ninth and picked up his first save. Harvey Hines (3-2) was tagged with the defeat, yielding four runs and seven hits in six innings. The Westerners outhit Sugar Valley nine to eight.

Waleska (14-12) is number three in the RBU South race and trail the top team Marston (14-11) by a half-game and are just percentage points out of second. Sugar Valley (13-11) holds the runner-up position in the division.

FC Nips Diamonds
Skipper Rob Jackson saw his safe lead dwindling in the ninth, so he summoned Herm Bahr in from the bullpen and he brought the game to a happy ending for the Forest City Lumberjacks. Bahr stopped the Claxton Diamonds and preserved a 6-5 win for Ernie Hill (2-1). It was Bahr's first save of the season. Hill worked the first six innings, allowed three runs on six hits, struck out eight and walked five. Tetsunori Nakashima (5-1) suffered his first loss. He was touched for four runs and five hits in just three innings.
'Jacks third baseman Ricky Mitchell (.246) sparked the offense with a three-run homer in the second and center fielder Ryan Morse (.418) added a two-run shot in the fifth to put Forest City up 6-2. Claxton second baseman Donny McCoy (.412) unloaded a two-run salvo in the fifth frame. McCoy and third baseman Keith Olsen (.323) each had three hits.

The Lumberjacks (13-12) are in the fourth spot in the RBU South, but only one game off the pace. Claxton is last with a 9-16 record.
