2039 IPA DIVISION SERIES - RUTHLANDIAN UNION

PIERSON & ROVERS ROLL OVER CC 'CATS 4-0
The underdog Sligo Rovers staved off elimination from the Ruthlandian Division Series with a 4-0 win over the favored Cold Creek Catamounts... Tom Pierson's masterful outing tied up the best-of-seven series at three games each... Pierson (1-1/3.68) tossed eight-shutout innings, limiting the Catamounts to just five hits and no runs... Gary Booth completed the shutout with a scoreless ninth... Mason Marsh (0-1/4.50) was the losing pitcher... he allowed four runs on seven hits in his eight innings... Marsh walked only one and fanned nine batters... game seven will be played tomorrow afternoon, also in Cold Creek at Holmes Field.

Sligo only got seven hits... the most important one was LF Jim Lewellan's (.200) three-run homer in the first frame... the Rovers' final run came in the third on 1B Denny Simmons' (.455) RBI single... leading the Catamounts were SS Jeremy Hall (.241), LF Wayne Kenney (.545) and C Arved Tarand (.391)... all collected two hits apiece.

NASH EVENS SERIES, WALESKA WHIPS FM 4-0
Pitching at home at Westerner Field, Craig Nash stopped Far Mountain 4-0 on a four-hit shutout and evened their RU Division Series at three games apiece, forcing game seven tomorrow afternoon in Waleska... Nash whiffed eight batters and walked only one, while going the route... the loser was Dennis Sasek (0-2/3.18), who also hurled a complete game and gave up four runs on nine hits.

The top hitters for the Westerners were CF Jon Lassiter (.292) with four hits in four tries... and 3B Monty McMurtry (.286) and SS Bobby Denton (.450) each with two hits... Redhawk SS Dan Vance (.111) had two of the four hits off Nash.

2039 IPA DIVISION SERIES - TYCOBBIAN UNION

CHAMPS FORCE GAME SEVEN, NIP PANTHERS 4-3 IN 12
Down to their last three outs in the ninth at Derby Downs in Arlon, the Champs tied it up 3-3 and then won it in the 12th 4-3 on Todd Benson's base hit... Arlon forced the East Point Panthers into a seventh-and-deciding game tomorrow afternoon.

Arlon got sharp performances from starter Emil Nowak and reliever Dale Greene... Nowak (1-0/3.00) went nine innings, struck out 5 and walked three, yielding three runs and 10 hits... Greene (2-1/3.52) picked up the win with three scoreless frames... Dixie Brooks started for the Panthers, going eight innings and giving up two runs on eight hits... Scotty Bentley blew the save by giving up a run in the ninth, but that was all he allowed in three innings... Tuck Tawney (1-1/1.59) was the losing pitcher.

2B Todd Benson led the winners 16-hit attack with four hits and two RBIs... three other Champs got a pair of hits each: C Nick Shafer (.310), 1B Ernie Pryor (.435) and RF Mike Cameron (.308)... Shafer got his fourth home run in the series... East Point had 12 hits... 3B Sam McClellan (.333) had three of them and SS Dean O'Donnell (.290) two of them.

HAWKS VICTORS IN SIX, TYPHOONS SWOON
David Michael did it again... the veteran North Hills pitcher hurled them past powerful Turon 5-1 and into the Tycobbian Championship Series... in his illustrious 11-year career Michael is especially tough in the postseason... he is 15-7 in 23 starts with a brilliant 2.25 ERA.

In game six at the Hawk's Nest, Michael (1-1/1.20) blanked the Typhoons on four hits over his seven innings... he left the game with a mild shouder strain and could miss a week of so in the playoffs... Joey Santini worked the final two frames and gave up one run on three hits... defending Pro Cup champ North Hills won the series four games to two and ended Turon's season... the Hawks are this year's favorite to win the IPA title and the Typhoons were the number-two choice.

The Hawks jumped on Turon starter Armin Boehm (1-1/1.29) for four runs right off the bat, scoring three in the first and another one in the second... North Hills had eight hits in the game, while the Typhoons managed seven... rookie CF Jimmy Jay Ferguson (.286) had two hits to lead the Hawks... he scored a run and drove in a run... and 2B Tommy Vavas (.133) walked twice and score two runs... RF Gerry Rice (.357), 1B Ric Hamilton (.318) and C Mikhail Romnovsky (.263) all drove in a run for the winners.
