Tycobbian Union - East Division

Ninjas Nab First Place, Edge SF 3-2 in 11 Innings
At home at Ninja Stadium, Ginza edged the South Fork Stallions 3-2 in 11 innings to slip ahead of Cape Coral and Ozarka in the extremely tight TU East Division. Center fielder Takashi Fujimoto's sacrfice fly scored shortstop Shinjiro Aoki (.283) from third with the winning run. Aoki got a lead-off walk from loser Billy Joe Gordon (0-4 3.06), stole second and advanced to third on a ground out. Skipper Huroto Uchiyama got a superb pitching effort out of Toshiharu Ito (3-1 1.93), who worked all 11 innings, permitting eight hits and only one earned run. The crafty righthander walked four walks and had eight Ks. Fujimoto (.267) went 3-for-4 and drove in all three runs. Third baseman Glenn Holliday (.231) had three hits for the Stallions, one of them his 10th home run. Manager Lips DeRoche of the Stallions also got some very good pitching from his starter Booger Burchfield (3-4 3.27). He left with the score 2-2 after eight innings and gave up six hits and no earned runs. In the hitting departmen South Fork outhit Ginza 8-7.

Ginza (30-26) moved a half-game ahead of both Ozarka (29-26) and Cape Coral (29-26) in the division, while the Stallions (27-29) fell three games back of the pack and fourth place.

'Canes on a 6-Game Roll, Tie Nats for 2nd Place
The Cape Coral Hurricanes have won six games in succession. Ozarka was beaten 5-3 on left fielder Rod Kelly's (.332) two-run clout in the eighth inning, his 12th of the season. It was the Naturals fourth consecutive loss and put them in a tie for second place with the Hurricanes in the TU East race. Katsuyuki Nagashima (3-5 2.76) picked up the win despite giving up three home runs. The big portsider limited Ozarka to six hits, fanned seven batters and walked two and went all the way. There were five roundtrippers in the game. Besides Kelly's game-winner for Cape Coral, third baseman Roberto Betencourt (.206) went deep, while third baseman Doug Cunningham (.245), first baseman Floyd Snow (.242) and left fielder Ronnie Patterson (.264) drilled solo homers for the Nats. Tony Didriksen (5-5 3.38) tossed seven-plus innings and was tagged for five runs, only three of them earned, struck out three and issued a walk. The Hurricanes has 8 hits to 6 for Ozarka.

Both Ozarka and Cape Coral have identical 29-26 mark for the season and are tied for the runner-up spot in the division. They trail the new leader, the Ginza Ninjas (30-26) by a half-game.

Hartsdale Hammers Luxora 12-3
From top to bottom in the Tycobbian Union East Division only 4.5 games separate the teams in the closest race in the Islandian Pro Alliance. Fifth place Hartsdale is just 3.5 games out of first after notching its third straight triumph. The Hellcats hammered the last place Luxora Zorros for 18 hits in routing them 12-3. Glenn Mann (6-7 2.85) breezed to the win, surrendering three runs on nine hits, striking out five and issuing only one walk. Leading the list of Hartsdale hitters were right fielder Mel Poe (.243) with three hits and three RBIs, shortstop Terry Bellino (.352) with two hits, two RBIs and two runs, center fielder Grag Reynolds (.253) was 2-6 , scored three times and had an RBI, and second baseman Whiz Weaver (.308) had two hits and two RBIs. Poe and Reynolds both slugged their 7th home runs. Catching the loss was starter Johnny Montel (4-7 3.73). The Hellcats tore into him for seven runs in the first two innings and never looked back.

Hartsdale is 26-29 on the year and Luxora is 24-29.
