Tycobbian Union - West Division

Frogs Stomp Vikings, Parmenter Hits 3 HRs
It was a high-scoring day for Fairfax as the Frogs stomped Bayview 14-3 at Downtown Plaza Stadium, pounding out 6 roundtrippers and 18 hits in the process. Second baseman Cecil Parmenter (.350) almost stole the show with three homers, the third time it has been done in the short history of the IPA. However, centerfielder Billy Echevarria (.277) stole some of his thunder with 6-for-6, two home runs, six RBIs and three runs scored. Parmenter went 4-for-4, scored a record-setting five times and drove in five runs. The two of them outhit the whole Viking team 10-9. Third baseman Stan Cobb (.325) also slammed a two-run homer for Fairfax. The 6 homers tied a league record set by Claxton on April 22 in a 14-6 rout of Sugar Valley. Jackie Leslie (12-7 3.47) also had a fine outing on the hill for the Frogs. He struck out eight batters and went the distance, walking three and allowing three runs. The losing pitcher was Jesus Carvajal (9-7 4.40) who was ripped for six runs by the time he was knocked out in the fourth inning.

Parmenter now holds the homer mark in the IPA with Cape Coral's Roberto Betancourt and Blue Lake's Ken Bennett. Betancourt did it on April 28, while Bennett accomplished it June 28. Echevarria tied Jerry Keller of Arlon with his six-hit performance. Keller turned the trick on May 6.

Parmenter was filling in for the Frogs regular second baseman Greg Inman (.281), who had the day off.

The Frogs (54-36) lead the series 2-1 with second place Bayview (47-45). Fairfax is first in the TU West and has upped its lead in the race to 8 games over the Vikings.

Bucs and McFalls Blank Champs 4-0
Bay St. Clair is certainly not playing like a last place team as they have won 8 of the last 10. The Buccaneers knocked off third place Arlon 4-0 at Shoreline Park as Duncan McFalls tossed a shutout at them. McFalls (7-2 3.15) chalked up his first career shutout. He scattered nine hits, fanned seven and issued three walks. The Bucs backed him up with three home runs, all solo jobs. Shortstop Chuck Hankins (.316) got his 11th, Jose Valenzuela (.291) hit his 7th and George Lyons (.255) smacked his 18th of the season. Arlon left fielder Matt Merrill (.319) went 4-for-5 in a lost cause. Connie Gavagan (1-2 0.87) caught the defeat, allowing three runs in six innings.

Arlon (45-45) slipped 9 games off the pace in the standings and rests in third place. The Buccaneers (40-51) have recently made up a lot of ground, but still have quite a way to go. They are 14.5 games out.

3 In A Row For Blue Sox, Slip Past Lynx 2-1
In game one of a doubleheader, a seventh-inning two-run homer by pinchhitter Doyle Osborne paved the way for Blue Lake to slip past La Claire 2-1 to record its third triumph in a row. Derek Manetti and Pat Daniels were locked up in tight duel, when Osborne (.342) played the hero. That gave the victory to Manetti (6-6 3.82), his third win in his last four starts. Manetti held the Lynx to five hits over seven innings, struck out four and walked two. Closer Russ Courtney (5-3 2.51) came on in the top of the eighth and got his 11th save with two scoreless frames. Daniels (9-4 3.58) stood out in defeat, pitching a complete game, yielding just six hits, while fanning three batters. Shortstop Ken Hall (.242) accounted for the only La Claire run with his 4th roundtripper of the year.

Blue Lake Rolling, Sweeps Twinbill from La Claire
The Blue Lake Blue Sox rolled to their 4th consecutive victory and swept the twinbill with the La Claire Lynx today at Harbor Stadium. Newcomer Neil Krogstad (1-0 2.70) rung up his first career win by beating the Lynx 4-2. Krogstad stopped them on just two base hits in his seven innings with nine Ks and four bases on balls. Third baseman Luis Marquez's 9th home run of the year in the fourth inning was the only harm done. That gave La Claire a short-lived 2-0 margin. Blue Sox second baseman Ken Bennett (.270) promptly tied it in the last of the fourth with his 16th homer off losing pitcher Kimo Orlando (3-3 2.77). Blue Lake hammered him for five runs and a dozen hits in seven innings. Orlando exited early in the eighth inning trailing 5-2. Reliever Mickey Dwyer (2-1 3.3)) blanked the Lynx over the final two frames for his first save. Center fielder Donnie Frazier (.294) also went deep for the Blue Sox with his 16th roundtripper. The winning scores came in the bottom of the seventh on catcher Curly Harris' (.247) base hit. Harris led Blue Lake at bat with 3-4 and two runs batted in. Third baseman Timmy Smith (.322) also chipped in three hits and scored two times.

Blue Lake (44-46) is in the fourth spot in the Tycobbian Union West standings and 12.5 games in back of the division leader. La Claire (42-49) is fifth and 12.5 games behind.
