2047 IPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - GAME 1
Ruthlandian Union
LONG STOPS REDHAWKS SHORT 5-2 IN LCS OPENER
Middlefield's hard-throwing right-hander James Long put the quietus on the Far Mountain bats in the opener of the Ruthlandian League Championship Series stopping them 5-2 on just seven hits... it was Long's (3-0/0.75) third victory in the postseason... he went the distance, walked only one and chalked up four strikeouts... Long also drove in the winning run with an RBI groundout when the Roosters snapped a 3-3 tie in the top of the fourth... they added single runs in the seventh and the eighth frames... Redhawk starter Curt Steinhauer (1-1/2.38) took the loss, going seven and two-thirds innings and allowing five runs on eight hits.
The Roosters were led by CF Norman Antonioni (.258) with a pair of hits and a pair of RBIs... LF Alejandro Dominguez (.286) got Middlefield's only homer, a solo shot in the second... Far Mountain SS Webster Ronstadt (.750) collected three hits, including a lead-off homer at the start of the game... Ronstadt also singled in the other Redhawk run in the third.
Tycobbian Union
RED SOX WIN GAME 1, COX TAMES SUN SOX 5-1
In game one of the Tycobbian League Championship Series Jud Cox tamed the Southport Sun Sox 5-1 at Red Bluff Park... Cox (2-1/1.42), a 22-game winner in the regular season, permitted only five hits, walked nobody and fanned seven in his eight innings... reliever Carson Jamara (0-0/0.00) worked a perfect ninth to nail down the win... losing pitcher Billy Hoover (2-1/3.51) was roughed up for five runs on nine hits in seven-plus innings... he racked up 22 victories this season.
The Red Sox's heavy hitters didn't get any homers, but they did bash five two-baggers and collected nine hits... CF Ike Sweetwater (.250) had two doubles and two RBIs... 1B Josh Stevens (.267) added two hits and an RBI for the winners... 3B Craig Glennon (.333) paced the losers with two hits.
