Tycobbian Union - West Division

Frogs Thump Champions 7-1
The first place Fairfax Frogs made it look easy again, winning for the fifth time in a row. They belted Arlon 7-1 at the Frog Pond behind the impressive pitching of lefty Jackie Leslie (10-2 3.35), who notched his 10th victory, tops in the IPA, and a solid 11-hit offense. Leslie fanned nine, walked three and gave up only seven hits for his 8th consecutive win. Hitting-wise left fielder Gator Davis (.307) cracked two homers and batted in five runs. The defeat went to Ray Hunt (5-6 3.27), who exited in the three-run eighth after permitting six runs and ten hits. It was Arlon's third straight defeat.

Fairfax (39-15) is in first place in the RU West Division, while Arlon (25-30) is in fourth place, 14.5 games behind the leader.

Viks Win, Wells Blanks Blue Sox 6-0
Second place Bayview continued to roll with its third consecutive win by blanking Blue Lake 6-0. Frank Wells (5-3 3.56) tossed a fine seven-hitter, fanned five and gave up three bases on balls. He beat new signee Junior Zell (0-1 9.00), who lasted only three frames in his first start and surrendered three runs and six hits. The Vikings backed up Wells with a 10-hit attack, paced by left fielder Glenn Burns (.318) with three hits and a pair of RBIs and second baseman Alan Hansen (.360) with 2-3 and three runs scored.

Bayview (30-26) is ten games out and in the second spot in the division. Blue Lake (23-31) suffered its third straight defeat and is in fifth place.

Lynx Edge Bucs 1-0, Nygaard Fires 2-Hitter
Tony Nygaard fired a brilliant two-hit shutout and beat Bay St. Clair 1-0 at Capitol Park Stadium in La Claire. Nygaard (2-3 3.12) had ten strikeouts and two walks in a sensational performance. A bases-loaded walked to shortstop Dirk Lindahl (.290) in the second frame was the only run of the game. Sean Lawrence (2-6 4.22) sustained the tough loss, allowing only four hits in seven innings, but he walked six and that cost him. He struck out five. It was the Lynx's fifth victory in a row and gave the Bucs their third straight loss.

"I feel good physically," Nygaard told BNN after the game. "Everything's comfortable. You should pitch well when that's the case."

It was anything but comfortable for Bay St. Clair.

"Nygaard used his change-up very well, very effectively," the opposing manager said. "He threw it in hitter's counts."

This year in 6 starts, Nygaard has recorded 2 wins and absorbed 3 losses. He has pitched 66.1 innings, allowed 50 hits, struck out 71 and has a 3.12 ERA.

There were only six hits in the game, four by La Claire and two by the Buccaneers. That tied the IPA mark, currently held by six other clubs. On May 1 Waleska (4) and Belair Beach (2) only had six hits, on May 8 Blue Lake (4) and Arlon (2) tied it, and May 12 Glasco and Colfax equaled it.

La Claire (28-27) is in third place and trails Fairfax (39-15) by 11.5 games. Bay St. Clair (20-36) is last in the division and 20 games out.
