Tycobbian Union - West Division

Viks Harrison Gets the Best of Frogs 6-3
In a good performance Bayview portsider Jerry Harrison crafted a 6-3 victory over first place Fairfax at Downtown Plaza Stadium. Harrison (11-5 3.17) fanned seven, walked three and permitted just three runs in nine innings. Topping the hit list for the Vikings was the IPA's top batter, Andy Hansen. The 22-year-old second baseman (.397) had 3-4 and scored twice and had help from shortstop Shorty Richards (.240), who cracked his 9th roundtripper this season. Right fielder Louie Ward (.302) hit a solo homer for the Frogs. Notching the defeat was Kaz Hayagawa (9-11 4.03), who worked the first five innings and yielded three runs in five innings. He was ineffective and gave up six hits, walked six and struck out four. He departed with the score 3-1 in favor of Bayside. The Vikings also got the best of the Frogs in hits 11 to 9.

Fairfax (54-37) still has quite a lead over Bayview (48-45) in the Tycobbian West Division. The first place Frogs have a comfortable 7-game bulge over the second place Vikings.

Champs Fitzgerald Halts Bucs 7-2
After two losses in a row to last place Bay St. Claire, the third place Arlon Champions halted the Buccaneers 7-2 as lefthander Wally Fitzgerald hurled an impressive game. Fitzgerald (6-5 3.69) won his third in four starts, giving up a lot of hits, 11 in all, but limited the Bucs to just a pair of runs. He only allowed two runs, walked two and had seven strikeouts. The Champs scored early and led 6-2 after the first five innings, getting rid of starter and loser Hal Meissner (1-1 3.26). Newly-acquired third baseman Bubba Tate (.333) stood out in his first game since being traded for Meissner. Tate was 4-4 with a double and two RBIs. Center fielder Jerry Keller (.304) blasted his 14th homer, scored once and drove in two runs. Second baseman Kurt Detwiler (.306) and shortstop Bama Hartley (.271) each contributed two hits and scored one in the 12-hit Champ attack.

Arlon (46-45) is the number three club in the division and trails Fairfax (54-37) by 8 games. The Buccaneers (40-52) fell back to 14.5 games and are in the cellar.

Nygaard Ends Blue Sox Win String at 4
La Claire snapped a four-game losing streak behind the dominating pitching of Tony Nygaard. The Lynx hard-throwing righty stopped Blue Lake 5-0 on a fine five-hitter and put an end to the Blue Sox's own four-game winning string. Nygaard (4-7 3.22), who throws 98 mph, whiffed 11, but had to leave the game with two outs in the ninth when his right shoulder had some pain. Henny Cossaboom came in and got the last batter to wrap up the game. Jay Clay (10-4 2.69) suffered only his fourth loss of the season. It was not one of his better efforts as he surrendered four runs in his seven innings. La Claire had the advantage in hits 9-6.

The Blue Sox (44-47) are fourth in the TU West standings, 10 games off the pace, while La Claire (43-49) are fifth and trail by 11.5 games.
