Tycobbian Union - West Division

Frogs Win 4th Straight, Beat Champs 6-3
The Fairfax Frogs seem to be almost unbeatable. They just won their fourth in a row, a 6-3 decision over Arlon at the Frog Pond. Johnny Schluessler and three relievers combined for the victory. Scotty Marshall (1-0 6.75) got credit for the win for coming in and getting a key strikeout in the seventh inning. The Frogs were trailing 3-2 at the time, but came back in the bottom of the inning to score three times with pinchhitter Vince Cooper (.190) delivering a clutch two-run double to pave the way for the win. Gerry Fisher (3-1 3.66) worked a scoreless eight and Takehide Takahashi (4-1 1.69) nailed down the verdict with a perfect ninth for this 8th save. Craig Smith (6-5 3.21) took the loss, permitting five runs - only one earned - in his six-plus innings. Rightfielder Gregg Vincent (.322) had a double and a triple and drove in his 61st run, tops in the IPA.

Fairfax (38-15) is unchallenged in the TU West race and has a monstrous 10-game lead over second place Bayview (29-26).

Bayview Battles Back, Beats Blue Sox in 12
The Bayview Vikings battled back to beat Blue Lake 4-3 in 12 innings at home at Downtown Plaza Stadium. The Viks almost lost it in the tenth inning, but came back to tie it up after the Blue Sox had taken a 3-2 lead, then won it in the twelfth on first baseman Dwayne Coleman's (.303) RBI double. Mike Jardoin (3-3 6.39) pitched a scoreless inning for the victory, while Pete Henry (2-6 4,78) got hung with the loss in his first inning of relief. Six Bayview batters had two hits each in the 14-hit attack, while Blue Lake collected 11 hits and were paced by left fielder Greg Boone (.307) and third baseman Timmy Smith (.317) with three hits apiece. Both starting hurlers pitched well. Jay Clay (4-2 2.77) worked nine innings for the Blue Sox, struck out five and walked two and gave up eight hits. Jesus Carvajal (6-2 3.20) fired nine innings, fanned ten, walked one and surrendered eight hits as well. The exited with a 2-2 tie.

Bayview (29-26) is in the second spot in the division standings, while Blue Lake (23-30) is in fifth place, 15 games off the pace.

La Claire Tames Bucs 6-2, Smith Wins
Jerrry Smith of La Claire finessed his way to a six-hit 6-2 victory over the Bay St. Clair Buccaneers. Smith (7-6 3.61), a crafty righthander, kept the Bucs off-balanced with an assortment of junkballs. He struck out two and walked two in a very good outing. And his teammates backed him up with 17 hits, too. Everybody in the lineup got at least one hit, including Smith, who had two. Left fielder Rich Hart (.279) and second baseman Darrell Boyce (.258) each rapped three hits and first baseman Luis Marquez (.317) got the game's only roundtripper. Buccaneer first baseman Maury Smith (.364) went 2-for-3 and doubled in his team's only two runs. Ben Crowley (3-5 4.70) had a nightmare start and gave up five runs and 13 hits and left in the fourth inning down 5-2.

The Lynx evened their season record to 27-27 and are in third place, 11.5 games out of first and 1.5 games out of second place. Bay St. Clair (20-35) is in the throes of a dismal year and is 19 games behind.
