Tycobbian Union - West Division

Champs Gig Frogs Two Days in a Row
At the Frog Pond, the Arlon Champions won for the second straight day, dropping the Fairfax Frogs 4-2. First baseman Brad Ray (.327) led the way with two hits and three RBIs to knock off the first place Frogs. Skipper Gary Louis' mound staff did their job, too. Ace Howe started and went into the seventh and was taken out when there were two rain delays. Howe (4-5 2.84) got the victory, permitted eight hits and two runs with seven Ks and four walks. Relievers Sean Dudek (1-4 5.24) retired his two batters in the seventh and Rod Kelley (2-2 4.09) wrapped up the game with a scoreless eighth and ninth, yielding a hit and fanning one. It was Kelley's 2nd save. Fairfax's lefty Jimmy Dalton (6-4 4.26) took the loss, going into the ninth, surrendering eleven hits and all four runs. The Champs had the edge in hits 11-9 over the Frogs.

Fairfax (39-17) is still uncontested in the TU West Division. Arlon (27-30) is in fourth place, 12.5 games behind the Frogs.

Vikings Bomb Blue Sox 9-4, 5th Straight Win
The Bayview Vikings bombed Blue Lake 9-4 for their fifth win in succession and the Blue Sox fifth loss in a row. The Viks smacked 13 hits and ran up a 9-0 lead in the first four frames. First baseman Dwayne Coleman (.305) went 2-for-5 and drove in three runs to take over the RBI lead with 63 in the Tycobbian Union. Coleman also collected his 22nd home run, placing him second to Greg Vincent of Fairfax, who has 23. Vincent is now number two in RBIs with 62. Blue Sox second sacker Ken Bennett (.260) did the most damage with a three-run homer, number 8 this season for him. Paul Hood (3-2 3.00) went the route, holding Blue Lake to four runs and six hits with seven strikeouts and three walks. Derek Manetti (3-4 5.45) in his second start this year caught the loss by allowing six runs in two-plus innings. The Blue Sox played it loose in the field and committed three errors, costing them four runs and the ballgame.

Bayview (32-26) is the number two team in the division, eight games in back of Fairfax (39-17). Blue Lake (23-33) is fifth in the standings, 16 games behind.

Lindahl's 3-Run Smash Wins for Lynx
La Claire Lynx shortstop Dirk Lindahl boomed a dramatic three-run homer in the last of the ninth to send Bay St. Clair to a sudden 8-6 defeat at Capitol Park Stadium. Manager Rip Calkin's Lynx rallied from 5-2 and 6-4 deficits to garner the win with a four-run ninth off losing pitcher Johnny Nikolsky (3-4 5.10) and gave the victory to Nick Baumgartner (3-5 3.88), who retired the Buccaneers in order in the top of the inning. Lindahl (.293) was 2-for-5 for the winners and scored twice, while catcher Dennis Weiss (.269) was 2-for-4 with two runs batted in. Weiss also homered, his 7th of the year. Bay St. Clair outgunned them 14 to 13, but still came up short in the run department. Shortstop Chuck Hankins (.343) had three hits and scored twice, third baseman Bubba Tate (.350) had three hits and center fielder Nickie Friedrich (.299) drove in a pair of runs with a double.

The Lynx (29-28) moved over the .500 mark and are in third in the TU West, 10.5 behind, while the Buccaneers (21-37) are still deep in the cellar, 19 games out.
