Tycobbiian Baseball Union

East Division

Bradley's Blast Whips Stallions
All the South Fork Stallions needed was three outs from the bottom of the batting order -- they didn't get them. Ozarka battled back with a dramatic ninth-inning two-run homer by pinchhitter Roger Bradley (.212) to win the game 3-2. It was the Nats third win in a row. Stallion closer Glenn Turnbull (3-1) came on with a 2-1 lead and promptly lost it on a walk-off homer. Nats reliever Alec DiMaggio (3-0) got the victory. He worked the last three innings and gave up one run on two hits. The two starters both had good performances. Booger Burchfield limited Ozarka to one run and four hits for the first seven innings, while Ted Didriksen stopped South Fork on one run and six hits with six strikeouts in his six innings. Center fielder Teddy Braun (.343) also had a home run for the winners. First baseman Alex Kesler (.216) went 4-for-4 for the Stallions.

The Naturals (17-10) are in first place in the TBU East Division and South Fork (10-18) is in last place.

Z's Blitz Ninjas 4-0
The Luxora Zorros have won seven straight games. Johnny Montel (3-3) fired a brilliant two-hit shutout and knocked off Ginza 4-0 today at Ninja Stadium. Ginza has dropped their last three ballgames. The Luxora lefty struck out five and walked no one to capture his third victory of the year. Both hits came back-to-back in the fifth, when Ronnie Graf (.265) doubled and Troy Connolly (.240) singled with no one out. A shallow fly out and a double play ended the inning. In the fifth Shotgun Boggs (.148) drove the first run in with a groundout to second. In the three-run sixth Roberto Vina (.274) had an RBI-single and Paco Benitez (.250) hit a two-run double.

Montel spoke to reporters after the game and said, "After the first few innings, I felt like my mechanics were getting better. I was able to make some adjustments and get a little more comfortable out there."

Montel's record in 2001 is 3-3 in 7 starts and he has a 3.64 ERA.

The Ninja skipper Huroko Uchiyama said, "We had some opportunities, but weren't able to execute. We just didn't swing the bats very well today."

Second place Luxora (15-11) kept pace with the first place Ozarka Naturals (17-10) in the TBU East. Ginza (12-15) is in the fourth spot in the standings, and tied with Hartdale (12-15).

'Canes Creep by Hellcats 3-1
Third place Cape Coral rode the right arm of Gary Fountain to beat the Hartsdale Hellcats 3-1 at Seaside Stadium. Fountain (4-1) stymied the Hellcats on seven hits and had eight Ks and three walks. Whiz Weaver's (.286) homer in the fourth was the only run he allowed. The losing pitcher was Jim Sears (2-3), who was tagged for ten hits by the Hurricanes. Center fielder Eric Smith (.302) tagged him for the game-winning two-run homer in the eighth.

Cape Coral (15-12) stayed close to the top club in the division, the Ozarka Naturals (17-10), and trail them by two games. Hartsdale (12-15) is tied for fourth with the Ginza Ninjas (12-15).
