2039 IPA DIVISION SERIES - RUTHLANDIAN UNION

CC 'CATS CRUSH SLIGO 8-3, UP BY A GAME
Going into game five of the IPA Division playoffs all of the series were deadlocked at two games apiece... In the Ruthlandian Division Series Cold Creek crushed Sligo 8-3 to go up by a game in the best-of-seven series... a five-run fourth sealed the verdict... the Catamounts now have a three games to two lead... Cold Creek was the third choice in the Pro Cup predictions and Sligo was number seven.

The Catamounts banged out 10 hits and were sparked by home runs by RF Wayne Kenney (.571) and C Arved Tarand (.368)... Kenney went 3-4 and drove in four runs, while Tarand had two hits and 3 runs batted in... Sligo was paced by 3B Mel Dillard (.158) and C Damon Klein (.474)... both had solo homers.

20-game winner Pete Heller (1-0/4.80) got the first postseason win of his 13-year career... he checked the Rovers on three runs and seven hits, struck out nine and walked only one in a complete-game outing... Sligo starter Randall Steele (0-1/7.36), a 25-game winner, was roughed up for six runs in five innings for the loss.

REDHAWKS TAKE LEAD, WHIP WALESKA 4-3
A walk, wild pitch and Buddy Werner's base hit gave Far Mountain a 4-3 triumph over favored Waleska in game five of the RU Division Series and a one-game lead... Far Mountain was the sixth pick in the Pro Cup poll with Waleska number five... Karl Nordheim (2-0/1.59) had an impressive performance... he limited the Westerners to three hits and one earned run in a route-going effort... Nordheim posted six Ks and walked two batters... Jeff Woodruff matched him for seven innings, leaving with the score 3-3... Vern Bass (1-3/11.25) lost his third game in relief... he came on in the eighth and lost.

Far Mountain's main bats were LF Harlan Silver (.188), who had a double, triple and two RBIs, 2B Johnny Kaufman (.316) with two hits and two runs scored, and CF Wes Wernstedt (.294) with two hits and a run... leading Waleska was C Rodney Hanson (.294) with a solo homer and two runs scored.

2039 IPA DIVISION SERIES - TYCOBBIAN UNION

HAWKS HAMMER TURON 11-5, UP 3-2 IN SERIES
Two homers and six RBIs by rookie Jimmy Jay Ferguson put defending Pro Cup champion North Hills in the driver's seat in their battle with the Turon Typhoons in the Tycobbian Division Series... the Hawks took a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series and now need just one more win to advance to the League Championship Series... North Hills is the Pro Cup favorite with Turon ranked as the second most likely winner.

Ferguson (.222) slugged a grand slam in the second inning and a two-rum smash in the fourth and put the Hawks well on their way to victory... North Hills totaled 18 hits with LF Adam Thurgood (.364) and 1B Ric Hamilton (.333) getting three each... Thurgood and 3B Jim McDermott (.250) each drove in a pair of runs and belted homers, giving the Hawks four for the day.

Winner Jeff Owens (1-1/6.19) went the distance, permitting five runs on eight hits with seven strikeouts and three walks... Nate Scottsdale (1-1/7.30) caught the loss and took quite a licking, giving up seven runs in three-plus innings.

O'DONNELL'S HR GIVES PANTHERS SERIES LEAD
Dean O'Donnell only got one hit in game five of the TU Division Series, but it was good one - a three-run bomb in the tenth frame that gave East Point a 7-4 decision over Arlon and a three-two lead in the series... the Panthers ranked last in the Pro Cup poll, while Arlon was rated number four... Tetsu Tanaka and Bert Henrich also hit homers... Tuck Tawney (1-0/0.00) notched the win, setting down the Champs in the top of the tenth... Arlon reliever Dale Greene (1-1/5.79) was the loser... he was the victim of O'Donnell's big blast.

The Panthers had the edge in base hits 10 to 9... Tanaka (.389), Henrich (.217) and C Chris Cardinale (.368) each collected two hits... Henrich has knocked three homers in the series, while Tanaka has two... RF Mike Cameron (.261) and C Nick Shafer (.304) homered in defeat for the Champions... it was their third in the playoffs.
