Ruthlandian Union - South Division

Marston Wins Longest Game Ever, Edges BB 6-5
Bayside Park in Belair Beach was the scene of the longest game in the young IPA's history. The Marston Nine and the Sunbirds battled for 23 innings, when third baseman Roland Thomas (.335) singled in center fielder Tommy Reinhold (.295) from second with the game-winning run. The final score was 6-5. It was Thomas' fifth hit in the game and came off starter turned reliever, Carl Thompson (8-7 2.55), who sustained the loss. Jorge Bonilla (1-0 4.83) was outstanding and recorded the victory. He held Belair Beach to four hits and no runs over the last six innings, fanning seven and walking one batter. Thompson worked nine innings, gave up six hits, struck out six, but walked nine. There were two homers in the game. Catcher Eddie Allen (.276) cracked one in the ninth for Marston and first baseman Paul Gravelli (.328) hit one for the Sunbirds. The Sunbirds and the Nine had a record-setting 41 hits, breaking the previous mark set on May 27 when Ginza (22) and Luxora (16) had 38 in a 14-inning game. Belair Beach outhit Marston 21-20. The two teams also struck out 32 batters for a new record. Both clubs fanned 16 batters each. The old record of 30 was held by La Claire (16) and Cape Coral (14) and occurred on May 31. Glasco and Colfax played 18 innings on May 14 with the Blasters winning 4-3.

Marston (36-26) is the top team in the RU South and leads last place Belair Beach (28-36) by nine games.

'Jacks Thump Rattlers 8-3
Second place Forest City thumped third place Sugar Valley 8-3 in the opening game of the series at Farmers Memorial Park. The Lumberjacks walloped 16 hits and were led by center fielder Ryan Morse (.345) with a perfect 5-for-5 day, three RBIs and his 8th homer. First baseman Neil Jenson also chipped in with 3 RBIs and shortstop Johnny Mack Butler (.259) had three hits, scored twice and drove in a run. On the mound southpaw Herm Bahr (7-4 3.67) chunked seven strong innings, permitted only four hits and three runs, struck out six and walked two. Absorbing the loss was Rattler starter Nickie Lynn (1-3) in his second start of the season. He allowed four runs in six innings.

Forest City (35-29) kept pace with first place Marston and trail them by two games. Sugar Valley (31-31) dipped to .500 on the year and fell five games behind the leader.

Waleska Bushwhack Claxton on Chancellor's 3-Hitter
Marv Chancellor has made an abrupt about face. He started the season 1-6 with an ERA way over 6.00, but now has won his last two with a two-hitter and a three-hitter and won four of his last six. Today at Avalon Stadium in Claxton, Chancellor stopped the Diamonds on three hits and bushwhacked them 5-1. Only first baseman Ron Armstrong's (.333) first homer of the year did any damage. Chancellor (5-8 4.95) fanned five and walked just one in a very impressive performance. Left fielder Big Hoss Burkhalter (.303) provided the firepower with his 15th and 16th roundtrippers, driving in three runs. Other contributors were first baseman Freddie Shelton (.301) with two hits and his 12th home run and catcher Mac Wilkins (.208) with an RBI. Homer-prone Dennis Scott (6-6 4.46) allowed all three homers and took the loss, allowing five runs in five-plus innings.

The Westerners (31-32) are fourth in the RU South Division, 5.5 games out. Claxton (29-36) is fifth and are 8.5 games behind.
