2003 IPA Pro Cup Series

Ruthlandian Union West Division - First Round Series - Second Game

'Jacks Oust V's, Moore Whips Volusia 3-2
Fourth-seeded Forest City derailed the Pro Cup hopes of first-seed Volusia with a 3-2 victory to oust the Vigilantes from the IPA playoffs. The Lumberjacks will advance to the Sweet 16 round against the winner of the Middlefield-Colfax series. Glenn Moore, a 31-year-old righty, pitched a whale of a game to eliminate Volusia. Moore held the V's to just three hits over eight and a third innings. He shut them out for the first eight innings on just two hits. Manager Robbie Jackson pulled him with runners on second and third with one out in the ninth and the score 3-0. Jackson brought in Big Jack Vail from the bullpen to try and stem the Vigilantes last-ditch rally. Vail got out number two on a ground out, but a run scored making it 3-1. Pinchhitter Winky Rush rapped an RBI double and cut the margin to just one run with the tying run on second. After intentionally walking 2B Chaco Rivera, Vail nailed down the win by retiring pinchhitter Ruben De Andres on a fly ball to left field. Volusia got a strong outing from Carl Schmitz, who tossed eight innings, stopping Forest City on two runs and six hits with eight Ks and only one walk. Schmitz was tagged with the loss. 2B Jesse Wolf and C Joey Jarvis led the Lumberjacks with solo homers in the fourth and seventh innings respectively. Wolf also homered in the first game.

Roosters Roll On To Sweet 16, Sweep Colfax
The Middlefield Roosters dumped the Colfax Blasters 7-3 and rolled on to the IPA Sweet 16 by sweeping them in two games. Jamie Hicks, a 22-year-old southpaw shut the Blasters out until the eighth inning, when he gave up three unearned runs. By then it was too little, too late; the Roosters already had rung up seven runs. RF Bailey Norcross and 3B Lowell Satterwhite led Middlefield at the plate with home runs. Norcross hit a solo shot in the opening frame and Satterwhite cracked a two-run homer in the second inning. In all, the Roosters had 10 hits to just five for Colfax. Hicks was the winner. He fanned eight and walked only one in eight impressive innings. Taking the loss was Harry Manning, who allowed five runs in five innings. Blaster third baseman Neely Keeton clouted a two-run blast for Colfax.

Middlefield will travel to Forest City for game one of the Sweet 16. If three games are needed, then the Roosters will host the final two encounters. The best-of-three series will begin Friday at Riverside Stadium.
