Tycobbian Union - West Division

Meredith Shuts Out Viks 7-0, Frogs Win Opener
So far this season Fairfax has dominated the Tycobbian Union West. The Frogs had a nine-game bulge over second place Bayview going into the current series. After the opener, the Frogs have a ten-game lead after Robbie Meredith (9-1 2.59) fired a five-hit shutout and beat the Vikings 7-0. Meredith, a 24-year-old righthander, fanned four and walked no one. Left fielder Gator Davis (.299) led the Frogs at bat with 2-3, three RBIs and two runs scored. He banged his 14th home run. Picking up the loss was starter Adrian Strom (6-4 4.32), who was tagged for six runs in two-plus innings. He was KO'd in the four-run third. Bayview suffered its fourth consecutive defeat.

Fairfax (43-20) has commanding lead in the division with Bayview (34-31) its closest challenger and a distant ten games off the pace.

Lynx Notch 2-1 Victory Over Bucs in 10th
The fans at Shoreline Park got to witness a tight pitchers' duel, but didn't get to go home happy as La Claire beat Bay St. Clair 2-1 in ten innings. Right fielder Artie Scott (.205) was the hero for the Lynx. He led off the tenth against Ken Kazak with a double, was sacrificed to third and then scored on shortstop Dirk Lindahl's (.285) deep fly to left. Getting credit for the win was Frank Lamoreaux (6-4 2.71), who worked the first nine frames, struck out eight, walked four and gave up only six hits. Andy Murray (2-1 4.10) got the save, his first, with a scoreless tenth. Norm Gross (7-5 3.37) had an impressive start, yielding six hits and a run in nine innings for the Buccaneers. Kazak (0-3 4.32) was the losing pitcher.

The La Claire Lynx (33-31) are third in the standings, 10.5 games behind Fairfax. Bay St. Clair (24-41) is last and are 20 games out.

Blue Sox Take 4th Straight, Beat Champs 7-1
"Good hitting and good pitching are hard to beat," manager Tyson Cobb told the press after Blue Lake's fourth straight triumph. "And it's about darn time we got some of it." The crusty and testy oldtimer added, "I don't like being near the bottom of the standings. I'm gonna have to start taking names and kicking butts." The Blue Sox stroked 14 hits to easily beat Arlon 7-1 at Derby Downs, spearheaded by third baseman Timmy Smith (.317), who poled two roundtrippers and drove in four runs with his three hits. Smith has 7 homers for the season. Center fielder Donnie Frazier (.314) unloaded his 13th and had two RBIs and scored twice. Cobb got some fine pitching from big Bennie West (7-7 2.44), who is only 7-7 for the year despite an excellent 2.44 ERA. West went the distance permitting eight hits with seven Ks and a walk. Woody Fitzgerald (3-3 3.11) didn't last long and took the loss. He was sent to the showers in the third after allowing seven runs.

Blue Lake improved to 28-35 on the season and is way down in fifth place in the TU West, 15 games back, while Arlon (30-34) is in fourth and stands 13.5 games out.
