2047 IPA DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - GAME 5

Ruthlandian Union

NINE NIPS ROOSTERS 4-2 IN 10 FOR SERIES LEAD
Game five of the Ruthlandian Division Championship Series went to the Marston Nine 4-2 in 10 innings... they now lead Middlefield three games to two in the best-of-seven affair.

In the top half of the 10th inning pinchhitter Alphonse Alexis (.000) lofted a deep fly ball to center field that scored Calvin Marbury (.286) from third base with the go-ahead run... the next batter Roger Krieger (1.000), also a pinchhitter, cracked an RBI single and added to the Marston margin... Kiki Vuk (2-0/1.50) got the win after blowing the save in the eighth... Thomas Stuart struck out two of the three batters he faced in the last of the 10th and logged the save... reliever Ray Owens (0-2/3.00) suffered his second loss in the series... he worked three innings and gave up two runs.

Marston managed eight hits off starter Larry Wheelhouse and Ray Owens... they tapped each of them for four hits... Wheelhouse permitted only two runs, struck out five and walked nine in an uneven effort... John Newton started for the Nine and went seven strong frames, giving up only one run, six hits, fanned four and walked just one... Newton held a 2-1 lead when he departed.

C Stan Davis (.538) hit his second homer of the postseason to pace the Nine, while CF Norman Antonioni (.294) smacked two out of the park for the Roosters.

REDHAWKS ROUT SUNBIRDS 14-2 IN GAME 5
Far Mountain ravaged Belair Beach for 16 hits in a 14-2 rout in game five of the Ruthlandian DCS for a 3-2 edge in the series... supported by three homers Josh Grover went all the way for the win, holding the Sunbirds to two runs on eight hits... Grover (2-0/2.12) notched his second win in the series, whiffed two and walked none in a solid performance.

RF Bert Richter (.364) poled two homers, scored four runs, got 3 hits and batted in 3 runs to lead the Redhawk hit parade... LF Terry Crawford (.273) added a two-run blast, two hits and scored three times... C Joel McDaniel (.308) drove in four runs with a pair of hits... 2B Rodger Hawkins (.238) scored four times, drove in three and had two hits... and CF Todd Purdom (.462) went 3-for-5 and scored two runs.

1B Jason Butler (.350) had two hits and two RBIs for the Sunbirds... loser Jose Munoz (0-2/6.55) had his second straight rocky outing... Far Mountain shelled him for eight runs and 10 hits in just three-plus innings.

Tycobbian Union

SUN SOX ELIMINATE HELLCATS IN 5 GAMES
In a stunning display of baseball Southport eliminated defending Pro Cup champion Hartsdale from the playoffs with a rousing 18-1 massacre in game five to win the series four games to one... the Sun Sox overwhelmed them with 18 hits and three roundtrippers, plus Johnny Swanson was tough on the hill... Swanson (1-0/1.45) permitted only one run on five hits, fanned six batters and walked only one.

Southport 3B Craig Glennon (.304) hit his fourth home run in the series and drove in four runs to spark the blowout... Glennon now has 10 RBIs in the postseason... LF Chris Jones (.389) also homered, doubled and had four RBIs and three runs scored... CF Barney Lewis (.235) got his third roundtripper in the series, a two-run salvo... RF Pat Kinney (.238) drilled three hits and batted in three runs... and SS Gonzalo Topez (.440) and C Visalis Vlachos (.348) collected three hits apiece.

Losing pitcher David Payne (0-2/7.30), the Hartsdale starter, was hammered again... this time the Sun Sox scorched him for seven runs in two-plus innings.

Southport's rookie skipper and IPA icon Lorne Evans told reporters, "We knew going into the season we had a good club... this is just the next step in the equation... we still have our work cut out for us... first we have to win the Tycobbian title to get the shot at the big one - the Pro Cup."

Evans added, "Getting past the defending IPA was a tough assignment... our bats were unbelievable the last two games." Evans was inducted into the IPA Hall of Fame in 2045 after an legendary career with the Sun Sox... he was an All-Star outfielder 12 times, won 5 Golden Bats and 2 Gold Gloves... 4 times Evans was named Tycobbian MVP (2027, 2028, 2030, 2034)... lifetime Evans batted .305 with 701 homers, 1836 RBIs, 2045 runs and 2928 hits in 19 seasons, 9 with Southport and 10 with Tuckanarra... he ranked fifth among the all-time greats in home runs... Evans led the Blue Jays to the IPA Pro Cup title in 2037.

Hartsdale manager Jud Turchin praised the Southport staff, "Hoover, Swanson and Delmore are outstanding... when you throw in the way the Sun Sox hit the ball in the series, it was lights out for us... we caught a very good team, playing very, very well... that's why we lost in five games."

RED SOX WALLOP WILDCATS 12-6, UP 3-2 IN SERIES
The bats were blazing in Kenwood, too... but it was heavy-hitting Red Bluff doing most of the damage as they walloped three homers and blasted the Wildcats 12-6 in game five of the Tycobbian Division Championship Series to take a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-seven series... Josh Stevens (.273) slammed his third home run in the postseason to lead the Red Sox... Jesse Shaw (.300) and Fran Blanchard (.421) also went deep for the winners, who totaled 12 hits.

The victory went to starter Mickey Rosen, who had a fair game... Rosen (2-0/3.45) allowed three runs and eight hits in six and two-thirds innings with six Ks and three walks... the bullpen shakily held on to the lead, thanks to great run support... Rosen left in the seventh leading 6-2 with all the Red Bluff runs coming in the fourth inning... after Kenwood cut it to 6-3 in the seventh, the Red Sox put them away with another six-run frame in the eighth... Wildcat starter Rusty Bradford (0-2/6.75) took it on the chin for the second time in the series as he was pelted for six runs in four innings.

Kenwood did well at the plate with 13 hits with RF Billy Nix (.615) getting two hits and driving in three runs... Nix homered in the third inning for an early 2-0 lead... it was his second homer in the playoffs... 2B Country Crowder (.227) rapped three hits and CF Warren Vickers (.286) and 1B Benjamin Nozak (.154) had two hits each
