Tycobbian Union - East Division

Lynx Blow Away Fairfax 8-1
When it rains at the Frog Pond, it pours - just ask Harry Buckley, manager of the Fairfax Frogs. His club had a 1-0 edge going into the ninth, but when it was finally over, the La Claire Lynx blew them away to the tune of 8-2. Jackie Leslie (10-4 3.14) was working on a 6-hit shutout, but tired and walked two batters to start the ninth. Leslie departed and was replaced by Gerry Fisher (3-1 4.32), who walked another and filled the bases. Then the Lynx laced hit after hit off Fisher and Eddie Castillo (0-3 4.68) until they had scored 8 runs. They rang up 12 hits in all and were sparked by left fielder Rich Hart (.266) with two hits and two RBIs. Third baseman Luiz Marquez (.286), catcher Dennis Weiss (.263) and right fielder Manny Paulauskas (.253) each added two hits. Kimo Orlando (2-0 1.69) fired another fine game for La Claire, striking out 10 in eight innings, allowing only seven hits and a run for the victory. Andy Murray (2-1 3.68) came on in the bottom of the ninth and was touched for an unearned run and two hits. Leslie was the losing pitcher, but pitched very well, yielding only two runs and six hits in eight innings with nine Ks and two walks.

Fairfax (46-24) has the best record in the IPA and has an 11-game edge over third place La Claire (35-35) in the Tyrobbian Union West Division.

Bayview's Harrison Hurls 3-1 Win Over BSC Bucs
Big Jerry Harrison (9-3 3.19) of Bayview won his 8th straight game with a 3-1 victory over Bay St. Clair. Recently obtained in a trade with South Fork for first baseman Keith Burke (.327), the 6'7" righthander won his second game for the Vikings, checking the Buccaneers on seven hits with eight strikeouts and two walks. It was the Viks 6th consecutive win and the Bucs 3rd loss in a row. Bayview got nine hits off Gary Robinson and Don Yaden (0-0 4.91). The defeat went to Robinson (4-9 4.41), who permitted three runs and seven hits in six innings. The Viks were led by second baseman Andy Hansen (.369) with 3-4 and two runs scored and RBIs by first baseman Dwayne Coleman (.306), center fielder Ed O'Neal (.148) and right fielder Dean Howell (.316). The Buccaneers only score came on first baseman George Lyons' (.229) 11th homer.

Bayview (40-32) trails first place Fairfax (46-24) by 7 games in the divisional race, while Bay St. Clair (26-45) is still stuck in the basement, 20.5 games behind.

Blue Sox Outduel Champs 2-1
Blue Lake's skipper Cobb Tyson got good outings from his mound staff today at Harbor Stadium to outduel Arlon 2-1. Derek Manetti (3-5 4.25) worked seven strong innings and gave up only one run and four hits, fanning nine with just two bases on balls. Closer Russ Courtney (5-2 3.20) came on in the eighth and picked up the victory with two scoreless innings. Arlon also got a fine performance from starter Craig Smith (8-5 3.03), who held the Blue Sox to just three hits and one run over seven innings. He exited for a pinchhitter. Jeff Nieman (6-5 1.54) gave up the winning run in the last of the eighth, when left fielder Greg Boone (.296) singled in pinchhitter Dandy Wilson (.257) with the tiebreaking run from third. Wilson had walked to lead-off the inning and moved to third on shortstop Cy Orgeron's (.256) double. There were only nine hits in the game with Blue Lake getting five of them.

The Blue Lake Blue Sox (31-38) are in fifth place in the standings, 14.5 games out of first. Arlon (33-37) is fourth and trail by 13 games.
