2024 Ruthlandian Elite 8 Series

Roosters 5 HRs Blast Rattlers 10-3
After dropping two games on the road in Sugar Valley, the Middlefield Roosters were ready for the friendly fences at tiny Middlefield Park... they slammed 5 homers and blasted the Rattlers 10-3 to get back in the RU Elite 8 Series, narrowing Sugar Valley's lead to two games to one in the best-of-seven series... manager Bailey Norcross also got an outstanding outing from Danny Denver (1-0), who fired a 3-hitter and only allowed one earned run... leading the Roosters hit parade were RF Chuck Larkin (.200) with a 3-run homer... 1B Allan Stewart (.417) and LF Frank McClellan (.222) with 2-run shots... and solo roundtrippers by SS Wes Gore (.333) and 3B Stu Butterworth (.273)... the Roosters crucified loser Harry Diefendorf (0-1) for 4 homers and 7 runs in the first two innings.

Chan Charms Vipers, Waleska Wins 4-1
The Waleska Westerners needed a win in the worst way and got it from Charlie Chan, who charmed the Valmara Vipers 4-1 in game three of the RU Elite 8 Series at Westerner Field... that cut Valmara's lead to two games to one... Chan (1-0) walked 6, but went the distance... the Vipers had chances, but left 11 men on base... Chan only permitted 5 hits... CF Teddy Szymanski gave Valmara an early lead with a solo home in the opening frame... losing pitcher Johnny Vasylenko made it stand up for 5 innings, but the Westerners got to him for a pair of runs in the sixth on a balk and an RBI single by 1B Glenn Childress (.182)... CF Roy Hobbs (.300) gave Chan breathing room with a 2-run wallop in the eighth... Vasylenko (0-1) struck out 6, walked none and gave up 4 runs on 7 hits in a complete game.

Tycobbian Elite 8 Series

Rascals Skim By Suns 3-2, French Winner
It looks like Jon French is back... the White River ace missed almost the entire season due to injury, but French looked like his old self with a 3-2 win over the Arroyo Grande Suns in the third game of the TU Elite 8... it was third straight low-scoring affair between two of the highest-scoring teams in the IPA... French (1-0) gave White River its first victory in the series with a 5-hitter... in 8 innings he fanned 6 and walked 5... Arnie Montel got a shaky save with a scoreless ninth, but he walked two after two were out and had the tying run on second, when he struck out the final batter.

Both clubs scored in the first frame... the Suns got a gift run when French gave up a bases-loaded walk, the third one in the inning... LF Kenneth Kent (.200) tied it up with a double in the bottom half of the inning... 2B Sandy Scott (.400) put the Suns back into the lead again with a fifth-inning homer... Rascal C Gary Troxell (.333) knotted the score at 2-2 with a deep sacrifice fly in the sixth... Kent got the winning run in with an RBI ground-out in the last of the eighth... Cesar De Leon (0-1) suffered the defeat, though he did well... De Leon was touched for 7 hits and went the route, striking out 3 and walking 2.

Tucks Trounce Kenwood 13-6, Take Series Lead
In game three of the TU Elite 8 at Olde Towne Grounds in Kenwood, the powerful Tuckanarra Blue Jays battered the hometown Wildcats for 19 hits in a 13-6 trouncing for a 2-1 lead in the series... SS Narra Gilyinju (.417) had 4 hits to led the way with LF Jeff Johns (.400) chipping in 3 hits and 3 RBIs... 3B Koora Nawajuk (.222), CF Jim Garrison (.500) and SP Quinn Starr (.500) drove in 2 runs each... and Garrison and RF Danny Redd (.286) homered... Quinn Starr (1-0) was not at his best, but still picked up the win... He went 7 innings, allowed 5 runs and 7 hits... Archie Desmond tossed the last two innings and surrendered a meaningless unearned run... Kenwood's Johnny Shaw (0-1) was shelled for 6 runs in just 3 innings for the loss.
