2040 IPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - Game Two

RUTHLANDIAN UNION

RANFORD HOLDS OFF SLIGO 7-5, SERIES EVEN AT 1-1
The Ranford Bulls put on their hitting shoes, banged out two homers and 13 hits to knock off Sligo 7-5 in the second game of the Ruthlandian Union LCS to knot it up at one game each in the best-of-seven series... Pete Bankston, Martin Satcher and Arlo Guthrie were the heroes at the plate and Lanny Smithers gutsied out his third postseason win.

1B Bankston (.351) carded four hits, including a homer and a double, two runs scored and an RBI... Satcher (.257) had a three-run roundtripper and a single... and C Arlo Guthrie (.276) scored twice, drove in a run and posted two hits... Sligo got seven hits with three of them for homers... 1B Denny Simmons (.395), LF Rudy Putnam (.175) and 3B Alex Faxon (.286) all went deep... two of them were one-run shots, while Faxon was good for three runs.

Lanny Smithers (3-0/3.91) worked into the ninth, giving up five runs and seven hits with 10 Ks and three bases on balls... After Smithers gave up the Faxon home run, cutting the Bulls' lead to just two runs, Miguel Mandina came in and fanned the final two batters for his second save in the playoffs... Tom Pierson was the losing pitcher... he was shelled for six runs and 10 hits in eight frames... Pierson (2-1/3.00) was trailing 6-2 when he left the game.

TYCOBBIAN UNION

OZARKA ZAPS SUMMERLAND 8-5 IN 10 INNINGS
On the road in Summerland for game two of the Tycobbian LCS, Ozarka pounded the Sunsets for 12 hits in an 8-5 decision, which tied it up at a game each... Omar Velazquez hammered a three-run homer in the tenth inning to decide it.

Velazquez (.389) continued his productive postseason with three hits and three RBIs for the Naturals... in addition to the game-winning homer, he also tripled... SS Duffy Morrison (.303) also got into the act with two RBIs and three hits... and LF Leland Cambridge (.200) batted in a pair of runs... Summerland 2B Norm Murdoch (.400) made his presence known with a perfect 4-for-4 day and two RBIs in defeat.

Reliever Dwight Albans (1-0/9.95) blew the save in the ninth, but got the win courtesy of Velazquez in the tenth... Albans tossed three innings and gave up a run... the Ozarka staff was aided by four double plays... Ronald Shaddock (1-2/10.80) was the loser... Duke De Boer went nine innings and was victimized by three Sunset errors that cost him two unearned runs... in all, De Boer was battered for five runs and 10 hits.
