Tycobbian Union South Division First Round Playoffs
What? Typhoons Trample San Alejo 12-3?
Who cares that San Alejo won 102 games in the regular season and are the favorites to win the IPA Pro Cup?... Apparently it didn't faze the Turon Typhoons in the first game of their First Round playoff series... The Typhoons trampled the Montaneros 12-3 to go ahead 1-0 in the best-of-three series... Sparked by the cheering crowd at Typhoon Stadium, Turon really turned it on by racking up 17 hits, paced by RF George Farley's perfect 5-for-5 day and three RBIs... SS Clovis Jarreau also chipped in three hits and a three-run homer... and 1B Boots Dubois drilled two hits and scored four times... It was a tight 4-3 contest until the sixth inning when the Typhoons lit into 25-game winner, Ernie Arredondo (0-0) for four runs to kick the score up to 8-3... Another four-run inning wrapped up the victory in the seventh... Although he struggled mightily with his control, starter Scotty Boswell (1-0 5.40) got credit for the win, walking six, striking out six and allowing three runs and four hits in five innings... Relievers Al Duhon and Jeb Pickett finished it up for him... San Alejo had 10 hits and were led by 2B Xavier Rocha with 3-for-4... San Alejo will be glad to get back to the friendly confines of the Casa de Beisbol for tomorrow's second game in the series.
Colchester's Pendarvis Shackles Sun Sox 3-0
Colchester's outstanding righthander, Dickie Pendarvis, put the shackles on Southport in the first game of the playoff series at Pleasure Beach Park and shut them out 3-0 on just four hits... Pendarvis (1-0 0.00), a 21-game winner during the season, had five strikeouts and walked two batters... Walt Corbin (1-0 2.57) pitched well for the Sun Sox, but not good enough... Corbin worked seven innings, fanned 10, walked three and surrendered three runs on five hits... Corbin departed with the score 2-0... LF Tony Barella's double and 2B Leland Curtis' three-bagger put the first run on the scoreboard in the third inning... Curtis doubled in the sixth and was driven across by CF Kenny Krantz's single for run number two... in the eighth 3B Niles Stanton's sac fly scored Barella from third base for the final run... The Elites only got six hits in the game... Barella and Curtis led the way with two each... The two clubs will be back at it again in game two tomorrow afternoon at Colchester's Heyward Stadium.
