Tycobbian Union - West Division

Champs Edge Frogs 2-1, First Loss for Meredith
It took a lot to give Robby Meredith his first loss of the season. It took a strong start from Arlon lefthander Wally Fitzgerald and a fine finish by closer Jeff Nieman to come away with a 2-1 victory at the Frog Pond. The Champions snapped Fairfax's five-game win string and ended their own three-game loss streak. Fitzgerald (3-1 1.75) went eight innings, allowed only one and eight hits, fanned six and walked just one. Third baseman Stan Cobb's fourth inning homer was the only run he gave up. Jeff Nieman came in in the ninth and closed it out with two strikeouts and no runs. Meredith (8-1) struck out nine, but walked four in suffering his first loss. He allowed nine hits and both runs. Catcher Kelly Fox (.303) went 3-for-4 and singled in two runs in the seventh to win the game. Cobb (.361) led the Frogs with 3-for-3.

First place Fairfax (39-16) is 13.5 games in front of fourth place Arlon (26-30).

Bayview Beats Blue Sox with 9th Inning Rally
Second place Bayview came back from a 4-1 deficit in the ninth to rally by Blue Lake 5-4 and send them to a fourth consecutive defeat. They had managed only three hits off Bennie West up to that point. Shortstop Scooter Richards rode home on left fielder Greg Boone's throwing error. Pinchhitter Daniel Wolfe singled to left to tie it up 4-4, but Boone threw it away trying to get Richards at home and cost the Blue Sox the game. Adrian Strom (6-3 3.86) was the winning pitcher as he tossed two scoreless innings. The loss went to West (6-6 2.49), who allowed seven hits in all, fanned six and walked three. Blue Lake shortstop Cy Orgeron (.245) has the only home run in the game. Richards (.257) had two hits for the Vikings and first baseman Dwayne Coleman (.302) scored twice. Hits-wise it was 9-8 in favor of Blue Lake.

Bayview (31-26) has won the last four games and is in the runner-up spot in the TU West, nine games in back of Fairfax (39-16), while Blue Lake (23-32) is in fifth, 16 games out.

Bucs Gross 4-Hits Lynx, Wins 4-1
"I wish I had several more like Norm Gross," Bay St. Clair manager Guy Rondre told BNN in his slight French accent. "We wouldn't be in last place, I gar-on-tee.".

Gross (7-5 3.16), a short, stubby lefty, stopped La Claire's winning streak at five games and beat the Lynx 4-1 on four hits. He struck out seven and walked four. The Buccaneers backed up his strong pitching with 13 hits and were led by shortstop Chuck Hankins (.335) with 2-for-5 and two RBIs. He hit his 5th home run in the third inning, making it 2-1 and drove in another one in the eighth on a fielder's choice. The only run the Lynx got came in the first frame and it was unearned. Nailed with the loss was Frank Lamoreaux (4-4 3.36), who went the distance.

Bay St. Clair (21-36) broke a three-game losing streak, but is still last, 19 games out. La Claire (28-28) is in the third spot in the division and is 11.5 game behind the front-running Fairfax Frogs (39-16).
