Tycobbian Union East Division First Round Playoffs

Cowboys Owens Too Tough For Tuckanarra
At Central Park Stadium in Tuckanarra, the High Mesa Cowboys took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three TU East First Round Series with the Blue Jays... Pitcher John Owens (1-0 1.00) was just too tough for them as he stopped Tuckanarra 6-1 on seven hits with four Ks and two walks... He outpitched Coorain Janama, who was 21-11 this season... The Cowboys jumped on Janama (0-1) for five runs in the fifth frame to bust open a 1-1 game... Leading the charge were RF Kenny Edelstein and 1B Babe Holloman with a pair of RBIs each... High Mesa collected 12 hits in all with Edelstein and C Jay Fessler socking three apiece... The Blue Jays will try and even up the series on the road tomorrow at High Mesa's Queen Ranch Stadium.

Stallions Power Past Panthers With 4 HRs
South Fork went on the offensive in tiny Armed Forces Stadium in East Point and pounded four homers to crush the Panthers 10-1 in game one of their playoff series... CF Ronnie Lee, 3B Glenn Holliday and RF Mike Yastrzemski all homered in the huge 7-run third inning... 2B Katsuhiko Hamada also ripped one into the stands in the sixth... In addition, the Stallions got a great mound performance from their ace, Flint Battle (1-0 0,00)... He checked potent East Point on just five hits and gave up no earned runs... Taking the brunt of the Stallions barrage was starter Carl Thompson (0-1), who was battered for six runs before he departed in the third frame... The Panthers will try to regroup tomorrow afternoon in game two in South Fork. First Round playoffs are all best-two-out-three series.
