Ruthlandian Union - South Division

Marston's Pace Stops Lumberjacks 4-1
First place Marston evened the series between the two frontrunners in the RU South with a 4-1 victory over second place Forest City. Nick Pace (8-5 3.30) won his third staight game and pitched his third straight complete game. He gave up 10 hits, but was stingy with the runs. Pace struck out six and had perfect control, walking none. The Nine got all four of their runs in the seventh inning and snapped a scoreless tie. Second baseman Ken Green (.360) went 3-4 and drove in a run, while pitcher Pace (.118) doubled in two runs. The other run came across via a wild pitch. Vinny Edelman (4-4 3.20) suffered the loss, gave up all the runs on seven hits, fanned seven in eight innings and walked only one. Left fielder Chuck Hill (.353) had two hits and accounted for the 'Jack only run.

Marston (32-21) expanded its lead over Forest City (29-26) to four games.

Rattlers Jump to 3rd Spot in Division
Playing the in the friendly confines of Farmers Memorial Park, Sugar Valley rattled the walls with three home runs to power past Belair Beach 7-5 today and move ahead of them into third place in the RU South standings. It was the third straight victory for Sugar Valley and Belair Beach's third consecutive defeat. Third sacker Jorge Vargas (.340) hit a grand slammer with catcher Shotgun McFall (.359) and right fielder Karl Dietz (.237) each banging a solo homer to spark the Rattlers. Catcher Denny Everhart (.235) led the Sunbirds at bat with a perfect 4-for-4 day with three RBIs. Both Everhart and third baseman Mike Janocko (.273) smashed one out of the park. Belair Beach had the most hits, 13-10, but still dropped the game. Harvey Hines (4-4 4.60) went into the seventh and chalked up the win with help from closer Gregg Neal. Hines permitted 13 hits and all five runs. Neal (4-3 2.15) retired all five batters he faced for his 6th save. Newcomer Sandy Kozicz (0-1 9.00) had inauspicious debut and caught the loss. He was slugged around for six runs and eight hits in six innings.

Waleska cracked 15 hits with three players getting three hits each: first baseman Freddie Shelton (.305), center fielder Rick Vaughn (.275) and catcher Jody Hill (.207). Hill had a three-run clout and left fielder Big Hoss Burkhalter (.293) also drove in three runs. Starter Gary Hill (5-3 4.67) got credit for the win, but gave up a dozen hits and six runs in seven innings of work. Jack Wagner (2-0 4.94) tossed two runless innings in relief of Hill.
