RU Stars Rout TU Stars 10-3 In IPA All-Star Game
The power has shifted in the IPA as the Ruthlandian All-Stars routed the Tycobbian All-Stars 10-3 at Sky High Stadium in Far Mountain. This is the third straight triumph for Ruthlandian in the All-Star competition. The RU has also won the last three Pro Cups. The RU Stars ripped TU pitching for 13 hits to win going away. Most of the damage was done in the 3-run second and the 4-run eighth. 1B Pietro Skrmetta's (Taranto) 2-run double in the second and LF Mike Jaffe's (Stoner) 3-run homer in the eighth were the big blows of the game. Jaffe was voted the game's MVP by the sportswriters. Ilya Szabo (Colfax) got credit for the victory with 2 scoreless innings, while starter Des Quartermain (Chicopee) was shelled for 4 runs in the first 2 frames for the loss. Tycobbia didn't score until the seventh when they picked up one run. Ruthlandia promptly put the game out of reach with a 4-run outburst in the next inning. 3B Karl Benson (Bayview) led the TU with a solo home run in the ninth. They were held to 7 hits in the game by 8 RU hurlers. Tycobbia still has a wide lead in the All-Star series. Overall they have won 9 of the 13 clashes.
