2024 Ruthlandian Elite 8 Series

Rattlers Rout Roosters 12-3, Forces 7th Game
Sugar Valley finally turned the tables on the Middlefield Roosters in game six of the Ruthlandian Elite 8... after they had been bombed, battered and beaten three games in a row, the Rattlers erupted for a 12-3 victory at home to force a seventh and deciding game tomorrow afternoon... the series is all even at three games each... Sugar Valley smashed 12 hits against four Rooster pitchers... leading the way was Harry Diefendorf (.333), who not only went the distance, but delivered 3 RBIs, too... Diefendorf (1-1 9.00) stunk in game three, but rose to the occasion today in a sink-or-swim game... he struck out 9, walked 3 and gave up 3 runs on 7 hits... CF Moonie Moomaw (.333), C Silvio Salas (.261) and 3B Eddie Newman (.200) sparked Sugar Valley with 2 RBIs apiece.

The Rattlers pounced on losing pitcher Danny Denver (1-1 3.00) for 5 runs in the first three frames, only to have the Roosters rally to make it 5-3 in the fifth... Sugar Valley went back to work with 4 in the last of the fifth and 3 more in the sixth to overwhelm Middlefield... LF Frank McClellan (.211) and CF Tom Daniels (.333) both homered to give the Roosters 16 homers in the series... Sugar Valley has hit only 5 out of the park... starting pitchers tomorrow in the finale will be Frank Dean (17-12 2.81) for Middlefield and Benny McConnell (20-15 3.04) for Sugar Valley... Dean lost game one 7-2, but came back with a great 8-0 shutout in game four... McConnell won game two 6-2 in a fine outing.

Waleska's Chan Shackles Vipers 3-2, Series Tied
The Waleska-Valmara series will also go to a seventh game... Charlie Chan (2-0 1.69) stopped Valmara in game six just like he did in game three... this time around Waleska won 3-2 as Chan held the Vipers to 5 hits and 2 runs in 8 innings... Jarred Laclair closed it out with a runless ninth for his second save in the playoffs... Johnny Vasylenko (0-2 3.71) hurled a complete game, yielding just 6 hits and 3 runs in defeat.

The Westerners opened the scoring with 1B Glenn Christian's (.250) 2-run shot in the top of the fourth inning... Valmara got one back on 2B Ron Freiberg's (.286) sac fly in the last of the fourth... Waleska chalked up the eventual-winning run in the fifth when SS Raoul Alleman (.300) led off with a double, advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on RF Kid Kelley's (.231) groundout to third... Valmara cut it to 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth... SS Tyler Ferguson was walked, moved to third on CF Teddy Szymanski's double and scored on LF Sonny Oliver's grounder to second.

Game seven will be played at War Memorial Stadium in Valmara with Clem Carmouche (20-8 2.52) on the hill for the Vipers, opposed by Chet McNeil (17-10 3.15) of the Westerners... Carmouche was victorious in game one 6-2, but was beaten 4-0 in game four... McNeil lost game two 7-3.

2024 Tycobbian Elite 8 Series

Rascals Eliminate Suns 4-3 In 13th
White River is the first team to quality for this year's Final 4... It was "dog eat dog" in the hotly-contested Tycobbian Elite 8 series between two very fine teams... five of the six games were decided by one run and the other by just two runs... in game six at Arroyo Grande, the third-seeded White River Rascals edged the hometown Suns 4-3 in 13 innings to captured the series four games to two... it was CF Hal Littleton's solo homer that finished off Arroyo Grande.

Both clubs got standout pitching with the victory going to Jeffrey Floyd (1-0 0.00), who tossed two scoreless innings, with the loss going to Steve Sampson (0-1), who came on in the 13th... Ron Hendrix went the first 9 for the Rascals, permitting 3 runs and 9 hits with 5 Ks and a walk... and Arnie Montel blanked the Suns in the 10th and 11th... Arroyo Grande starter Cesar De Leon stayed around for 9 frames, surrendering 3 runs on 7 hits with 3 strikeouts and no walks... then closer Jason Patrick shut out the Rascals in the 10th, 11th and 12th on 1 hits with 3 strikeouts and a walk.

White River only got 9 hits in the game, while Arroyo Grande totaled 12... Littleton (.370) had 3 hits for the Rascals and 3B Sammy Tucker (.348) went 2-for-4... C Gary Troxell (.318) slugged two out of Capet Stadium and accounted for all of the Suns 3 runs.

Tucks Too Tough, KO Kenwood In 6 Games
The top-seeded Tuckanarra Blue Jays advanced to the Tycobbian Final 4 and will get to continue the quest for its second straight Pro Cup trophy... the reigning IPA champion Blue Jays knocked off the eighth seed Kenwood Wildcats 5-3 in game six to win the series four games to two.

Quinn Starr (2-0 2.40) polished off the Wildcats on 7 hits in his 8 innings, though none of the 3 runs were earned... Tuckanarra had a terrible day in the field with 4 miscues... Starr fanned 6 and issued 3 walks... Trailing 2-0 going into the last of the second, the Blue Jays bolted ahead with 3 runs... 1B Lynn Starr (.417) added to the lead with a 2-run roundtripper in the third to put them up for good 5-2...
