2045 IPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - Game 5

Ruthlandian Union

RATTLERS RALLY PAST A'S, UP 3-2 IN SERIES
Playing in the friendly confines of Farmers Memorial Park, Sugar Valley slammed 4 homers to get by favored Glasco 7-6 in game five of the Ruthlandian League Championship Series... it was the Rattlers' second straight victory and gave them a 3-2 edge... one more win for Sugar Valley and they will get a crack at their first IPA Pro Cup trophy... Kent Rasmus went downtown in the bottom of the 10th for the game-winner... the Rattlers have ripped 19 out of the park in the postseason thus far.

The Rattlers rallied from a 6-4 deficit after 6 innings... Bobby Gamble (.432) cut it to 6-5 with a homer in the 7th... and James Milton (.326) sent it to extra innings with a solo shot in the 8th... pitcher Antonio Cedeno (.100) got the other one, a 2-run blast in the 4th frame.

Each of the teams got 11 hits... 3B Rasmus (.260), LF Gamble (.432) and 1B Milton (.326) led the Rattlers with a pair of hits apiece... Cedeno has 3 RBIs and Milton 2... Glasco was paced by 1B Les Masterson (.225) with 4 hits... 3B Billy Stroud (.250) and 2B Del Holloway (.227) added 2 hits each.

Domenico Renterias (1-0/0.00) tossed 2 scoreless innings for the win, while Ken McLin (1-1/2.53) lost it... neither starter Antonio Cedeno (1-1/2.20), nor Pat Meyers (1-1/3.96) were especially effective... they both departed the game after surrendering 6 runs each.

Tycobbian Union

SOUTHPORT PRO CUP-BOUND, KO'S RED SOX
Southport pitching made quick work of the power-laden Red Bluff Red Sox, disposing of them in just five games... Johnny Swanson (4-0/1.00) eliminated the Red Sox 7-3, allowing 3 runs and 9 hits in a complete-game effort... Swanson fanned 4 and issued only one base on balls... the Sun Sox are now headed to the Pro Cup Finals for the second season in a row... they whipped Wynnamac last year in seven games.

A 4-run fifth by Southport sealed the fate of the Red Sox... that put them in front 6-3... the Sun Sox garnered 10 hits in the game with LF Chris Jones (.351) leading the way with 4... SS Gonzalo Topez (.450) went 2-for-5 and scored 3 runs... 3B James Long (.125) drove in 2 runs... CF Barney Lewis had the game's only four-bagger... a solo shot in the 7th... Red Bluff got 9 hits with 1B Josh Stevens (.314) and 2B Big Boy Payne (.218) getting 3 apiece... LF Shing Hamilton (.429) had a pair of hits and scored twice... Hamilton, Stevens and RF David Kelso (.294) accounted for the Red Sox RBIs.

Starter Mickey Rosen (0-4/3.94) took the loss, permitting 6 runs on 8 hits in 6 innings... he trailed 6-3 when he was relieved.

Commenting on the series, Southport skipper Charley Oscar told the press, "It was a tough series... Red Bluff really has some dangerous hitters... fortunately our pitchers kept them in the park... holding them to just 2 homers in 5 games was vital."

Red Bluff manager Jim Schubert second that assessment. "For us to win, we needed home runs... that's how we play... we didn't get them... so we'll have to go home and want until next year."

Southport will defend it Pro Cup crown against the Ruthlandian champion... Sugar Valley has a 3-2 edge over Pro Cup favorite Glasco after five games... game six of the series will be tomorrow afternoon in Glasco... if needed, game seven will also be at Athletics Field.
