One half to the Jim Lefebvre tightened up a bit while in the other the leader stretched out it's lead.
In the National League the Arizona Scorpions moved in front of San Diego by five full games as they earned a hard fought 3-0 win over San Francisco and San Diego dropped one at home to Houston 5-0.
The Scorpions backed Brain Scott with three runs including Pat Makovec's 12th of the season to knock off San Francisco.
Meanwhile San Diego was victimized at home by Houston. Houston's cagey old veteran Mike Grissom had probably his best outing of the season shutting down San Diego's offense completely on three hits while walking only one and striking out six.
Arizona has won nine of it's last ten.
In the American League, Tampa Bay's winning streak came to an end but they rebounded for a 5-4 victory over Oakland to catch Texas for first place.
Winners of nine of their last ten and twelve of thirteen, the Sun Sox are blistering hot.
Tampa benefitted from Kanas City's 4-3 win over the front running Texas Express. Kansas City, 11 games back and in last place parlayed twelve hits into four runs off Parke Shea and Ray Nichols.
Mike Thomas (5-5) went six inning (5 hits 3 runs) and gave way to three relievers Dan Poole, Claude Nelson and Bob Essian (save #7).
Kansas City right fielder Frank Quinones was four for five, scored a run, drove in three runs, stole his sixth base and hit his fourth homer of this season in a big game for him.
After running into a buzz saw named Joey Smith and having their season high twelve game win streak halted, the Sun Sox bounced back behind Eddie Manning (6-1) and knocked luckless Hal Sugden out in the fourth inning scoring five runs all told off Sugden on seven hits.
That's all the support Manning needed. The hard throwing left needed last out help from Jim Fussell (17th save) to run his record to 6-0.
First baseman Carroll Smith hit his seventh and has raided his batting average to .233 with a recent hot streak.
Washington down Seattle 4-2 and Boston overcame Baltimore 6-5.:D

I actually have time to do it now.
My family got involved on here through my dad and some friends too. it was fun for awhile but rivalries developed and then it wasn't so much fun.
A team we thought was real good got thumped in the playoffs and all but my dad and me got all bent out of shape about it and quit.
My poor dad had all their teams dumped on him. We just notified admin that they could have the teams and eventually they all will be given to someone else.
Some of them are pretty good teams and all of them are organized fairly well.
I wrote up the sports teams in high school and enjoyed it. So this isn't new to me but it's been awhile. I hope to get better.
As far as making up fictional stuff about the players, that's just me wanting to add something to it all for everyone.
Thanks for the message and I do like that Sun Sox team. They have two good players on the DL while they are on this hot streak. When they come back the momentum just might be messed up. Happened to me on a real team once.
The chemistry changes. Might even happen here in fantasy ball...have to wait and see.
