The logjam at the top cleared a bit in Tyrone Youth Baseball Association action this past week. Rick Day Construction (5-4), which had been tied with Gardner’s Candies, dropped two games, while Gardner’s (7-2) emerged the solo leader with two wins. Elks (2-7) upset Rick Day and forced Gardner’s to come from behind in their final at bat to edge Elks by a single tally. Ferguson’s Pest Control (4-5) split a pair of contests, defeating Rick Day Construction and dropping a decision to Gardner’s Candies.
