Tycobbian Union West Division First Round Playoffs
Bucs Bang Bayview 6-1, DeVree Gets 'Em to Sweet 16
It was a storybook game for Duke DeVree of the Bay St. Clair Buccaneers... In an standout performance, DeVree hurled a five-hitter to beat the Bayview Vikings 6-1 to send the Bucs to the next round in the IPA Pro Cup playoffs... He went the distance, fanned eight Vikings, while walking three... DeVree (1-0) also blasted a fifth-inning four-bagger to give the Buccaneers a 2-1 edge... Pacing the Buccaneers 11-hit attack were CF Wayne Latham and C Jake Singleton... Both of them had two hits and two RBIs apiece... Portsider Paul Hood (0-1) caught the loss as Bay St. Clair rapped him for four runs in five innings... The Bucs will open their Sweet 16 series tomorrow afternoon out of town and will meet the winner of the Rolling Hills-Kenwood clash.
Reds Power Past Wildcats 7-1, Take Series 2-1
Rolling Hills won on the road, powering past the Kenwood Wildcats 7-1 at the Olde Towne Grounds to advance to the Sweet 16 round... The Red ripped four Wildcat pitchers for 11 hits, including two doubles, two triples and two home runs... plus they got strong pitching from starter Hondo Anoki (1-0), who shut out Kenwood on three hits over six innings... Anoki whiffed four and walked one, but had to leave the game when his arm tightened up on him... Leading the hitters were LF Freddie Ridgeway with two hits and three RBIs, CF Willie Mays Nixon with three hits and three RBIs and 2B Cal Lennox with three hits and two runs scored... Ridgeway and Nixon both homered and tripled in the game... Peter Brenneman (0-1) suffered the defeat, as he allowed four runs and five hits in six innings...but only one of the runs was earned... Rolling Hills will be back in action tomorrow... The Reds will be hosting Bay St. Clair at the Midtown Baseball Grounds in the Sweet 16 opener.
