TU STARS DOWN RU 4-1 IN 41ST ALL-STAR GAME
At Ranford County Stadium, home of the reigning IPA champion Ranford Bulls, the Tycobbian All-Stars got a little bit of revenge for last year's upset loss in the Pro Cup Finals by downing the Ruthlandian All-Stars 4-1 in the 41st IPA All-Star Classic... seven pitchers fashioned the victory, giving up only one run on eight hits, striking out eight batters and walking none. This was the TU Stars' 27th win in 41 games.
Tycobbian 1B Wayman Stetson (Denton City) hit a solo homer in the second inning, SS Sammy Thornton (Denton City) made it 2-zip in the fifth with an RBI single... Ruthlandia's only score came on C Brad Alexander's home run in the top of the seventh that narrowed it to 2-1... then 3B Jerry Culpepper (Bayview) cinched the victory with a two-run single in the last of the seventh.
The TU Stars outhit Ruthlandia 11 to 8 with 2B C. C. Kingsford (Turon) leading the way with two hits in three tries... 1B Daryl Brady (Crystal Lake) got a pair of hits for Ruthlandia... Culpepper was given the game's Most Valuable Player Award.
