Tycobbian Baseball Union - East Division

Abreu's Blast Dooms Hurricanes
Cape Coral and Hartsdale battled long and hard for 11 innings, when Hellcat shortstop Francisco Abreu hammered a home run to win it 4-3. Both squads got solid pitching with the victory going to Phil Reed. He held the Hurricanes scoreless the last two frames. Katsuyuki Nagashima was the home run victim and suffered the loss.
Todd Seals and Whiz Weaver topped the Hartsdale hitters with 3 hits apiece. Roberto Betancourt led Cape Coral with 3 hits.
Starters Gary Fountain for the Hurricanes and Glenn Mann for the Hellcats both went 7 innings and pitched well, giving up 3 runs each.

Stallions Slam Zorros, 10-1
Sharp pitching backed up by excellent hitting made it easy for South Fork to shellac the Luxora Zorros 10-1. Righthander Flint Battle was on top of his game with a superb 4-hit outing. He had 6 strikeouts and walked 3. And he got lots of run support from Paul Giles, Mac Stewart and Glenn Holliday, all of whom belted homers. The Stallions piled up 13 hits in the game, led by Stewart and Gene Woodruff, both with 3 hits each.
Johnny Montel got the loss as he made a quick exit, allowing 5 runs and 8 hits in just 3 innings.

Naturals Nakagawa Shines in Relief
Ozarka was down 3-0 after 5 innings and 4-2 after 6, but rallied to defeat Ginza, 5-4. Yasuyuki Nakagawa relieved the tired Ted Didriksen in the seventh inning with the score tied at 4-all and breezed through the Ginza Ninjas lineup, retiring 9 of the 10 men he faced. He was helped out by the hitting heroics of Ronnie Patterson, who tied it up with a 2-run double in the top of the seventh and decided it with another RBI-double in the top of the ninth. Reliever Cody Moore was shackled with the loss as he gave up the Nats last 3 scores. He took over for starter Vic Rousakis, who surrendered only 2 runs and 5 hits, while fanning 11 in just 6 innings.
