2038 IPA FINAL 4 SERIES
Tycobbian Union
KINSON KEEPS LYNX ALIVE, TAMES HAWKS 1-0
After two miserable postseason starts, 21-game winner Bruce Kinson finally got his act together just in time to keep La Claire in the Tycobbian title chase with a brilliant 1-0 shutout over North Hills... Kinson evened the series at three games apiece... he outdueled another 20-game winner Jeff Owens... Kinson (1-2/3.77) stopped the Hawks on 6 hits, walked 2 and struck out 4... Owens (2-1/1.67) was super, too... he fanned 8, walked one and allowed only one unearned run and 5 hits... a costly error spoiled Owens outstanding outing.
La Claire got the game's only run in the top of the sixth... SS Jarrod O'Neal (.273) reached first when first baseman Ric Hamilton fumbled a groundball... Kinson (.200) singled O'Neal to third... and Darryl McIntosh (.154) got the run in with a sacrifice fly.
1B Stan Hynoski (.341) paced the Lynx with 2 hits, while Hamilton (.200) got 2 for the Hawks.
Game seven will be played tomorrow afternoon at the Hawk's Nest in North Hills... John Page (4-1/3.44) will be on the hill for La Claire and opposed by North Hills' Frankie Lambert (16-10/2.80)... Page has not been terribly effective in the postseason... he is 2-0, but has a high 4.59 ERA... Lambert has been creamed in the playoffs with an 0-2 mark and a horrific 9.26 ERA... Page beat Lambert 11-4 in game three.
