2008 Islandian Pro Alliance Elite 8 Series

Ruthlandian Union - Game 2 at Mountain View Stadium in Colfax

3 HR Power Wynnamac By Colfax, Series Even
Three old pros powered Wynnamac past Colfax 4-3 today at Mountain View Stadium to even up the Elite 8 Series at one game apiece... LF Big Hoss Burkhalter (.250) slugged a two-run shot in the first frame, CF Dalton Leeds (.444) smacked a solo homer in the third and Nate Cockroft (.143) smashed another one in the fourth to give Skeets Hobart (1-0) the victory... Hobart worked eight strong innings against Colfax holding them to three runs and six hits, struck out five and walked three... Jasper LaForge (0-1) took the loss as he permitted all three homers and all four runs, while going seven innings... The Sundowners racked up 14 hits to 6 for the Blasters... homers also accounted for all three Colfax runs... C Tino Leonetti (.375) hit a solo salvo in the third and CF Ryan Raines (1.000) unloaded a two-run blast in the eighth... Raines is perfect so far after two games with 4-4 and four walks in 8 at-bats.

Ruthlandian Union - Game 2 at Sports Stadium in LaGrange

Schmitz Stops Sports 3-2, San Dimas Ties Series
The playoffs always seem to bring out the best in Carl Schmitz... the 31-year-old San Dimas southpaw struck out eight and beat LaGrange 3-2 at Sports Stadium to gain a split in the first two games of the Elite 8 Series... Schmitz held the powerful Sports to two runs on seven hits and sent Dave Webb down to defeat... Webb (0-1) tossed a good seven innings, allowed three runs on six hits, while fanning seven and walking two batters... C Wesley Pate (.667) got the game-winning runs with a two-run homer in the third that put the Rancheros up 3-0... LaGrange narrowed it to 3-2 when C Otto Kronvath went deep with a man on in the sixth... Hits were all even as each club got seven.

Tycobbian Union - Game 2 at Typhoon Stadium in Turon

Z's Zap Turon Again, Win Game Two 6-1
For the second day in a row the favored hometown Turon Typhoons took it on the chin and now trail two games to none in the Elite 8 Series... Luxora starter Elio Laurente took up where Antonio Anaya left off yesterday and spun a 6-1 victory... Laurente (1-0) checked Turon on one run and seven hits, went the distance, walked none and struck out three in a solid performance... Scotty Boswell (0-1) had a rocky outing as he was roughed up for five runs in six innings... Luxora was led by CF Bob Haviland (.500), who had a double and homer, scored twice and batted in two runs... RF Joel Reed (.400) also chipped in two hits, scored two runs and drove in a pair... 2B Bobby Bayas (.375) also contributed two hits and two runs in the win.

Tycobbian Union - Game 2 at Armed Forces Stadium in East Point

DC's Mohoski Tames EP 3-2, Redbirds Up By 2 Games
Denton City's wily left-hander Mila Mohoski tamed the hard-hitting East Point Panthers 3-2 to put his Redbirds up by two games in the best-of-seven Elite 8 Series... Mohoski squelched them on just six hits, fired six strikeouts and walked only two in a fine performance on the road in Armed Forces Stadium in East Point... the 29-year-old Mohoski is now 9-2 lifetime in the postseason... Smokey Joe Carter (0-1) hurled a good game in defeat as he gave up three runs and nine hits, while walking only one and fanning five... LF Nigel Huxley (.250) got Denton City the lead with a two-run roundtripper in the top of the second... 1B Denny Weidemeyer cut it to 2-1 with an RBI single in the last of the second, then tied it up with a home run in the fourth... it remained deadlocked until the top of the eighth when CF Rod MacCormack (.167) cracked one into the stands for the winning score... Huxley led the Redbirds with two hits and two RBIs and Weidemeyer (.750) paced the Panthers with three hits.
