Tycobbian Union - East Division

Ginza's 4-Run 7th Too Much for 'Canes
A 4-run seventh inning, highlighted by Kenshin Yamamoto's 15th home run, cracked open a 3-3 tie and paced first place Ginza to an 8-5 triumph over third place Cape Coral at Seaside Stadium. First baseman Yamamoto (.296) topped the Ninjas with three RBIs and shortstop Shinjiro Aoki (.281) had two hits and scored twice. On the mound righthander Kazuhiro Nakayama (7-10 2.91) labored, but went the route. He gave up 13 hits and finished up with six strikeouts and a walk. Not a thing of beauty, but still a win. Rocket-arm Jeff Salow (3-2 3.06) was shelled for seven runs in five-plus innings and recorded the loss, but struck out eight. Center fielder James Middleton paced the Hurricanes with 3-for-5, two RBIs and one run scored.

Ginza (51-40) is trying to hold off the hard-charging South Fork Stallions in the Tycobbian Union East race. Cape Coral (47-44) missed a chance to get within two games of the top. The Hurricanes fell 3 games back with the setback today.

SF's Conner Stops Luxora 6-2
Ken Connor is "Mr. Consistency" for the South Fork Stallions and manager DeRoche "Lips" Leon. Since moving in from the bullpen about three weeks ago, the 26-year-old righthander has rattled off six straight wins and six complete games. His latest victim was the Luxora Zorros. Conner tossed a 7-hitter at them and stopped them 6-2 at Jock Ewing Stadium. The Stallions put up 10 hits and were sparked by Glenn Holliday (.280) with three hits and two RBIs, including home run number 18. First baseman Keith Burke (.313) also had three hits and an RBI and left fielder Gene Woodruff (.291) socked a two-run two-bagger. Southpaw Johnny Montel (7-11 3.46) lost for the third time in a row, pitching a complete game, but being rocked for six runs and ten hits.

With 9 victories in the last 10 games, second place South Fork (51-41) is just a scant half-game behind the front-running Ginza Ninjas (51-41) in the TU East pennant race. Luxora (41-49) is a distant 9.5 games off the pace and in fifth place.

Nats Bomb Hellcats 11-5
Even the worst hitting team in the IPA occasionally breaks out with some hits. The Ozarka Naturals are batting only .238 as a team, but the bats were booming today at their home park Ellie Ewing Stadium as they bombed Hartsdale 11-5. Shortstop Kelly Eldridge (.271) had a double and home run, drove in three runs and scored four times to pace the Nats. Newcomer in right field, Kermit Wiggins (.333), socked three hits in four tries, scored twice and had an RBI. Second baseman Duane Starr (.283) collected his 9th roundtripper and drove in a pair of runs, too. On the hill, the durable Luther Hatch (9-10 3.73) rung up his 13th complete game of the season. He just coasted to the win, allowing eight hits, fanning eight and walking four. The game never was much in doubt. Ozarka led 6-1 after four innings and 10-3 after six.

The Naturals (44-47) are fourth in the standings, 7 games out of first place. Hartsdale (39-52) is down at the bottom of the standings and trails by 12 games.
