2047 IPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - GAME 2
Ruthlandian Union
ROOSTERS WIN 3-2 IN 12, TAKE FIRST 2 GAMES
Middlefield continued to get super pitching with a 3-2 triumph in 12 innings to take the first two games of the Ruthlandian LCS... Larry Wheelhouse and Ray Owens teamed up whip the Far Mountain Redhawks in game two... in a non-decision Wheelhouse (1-0/1.50) tossed eight solid frames and gave up two runs on eight hits with six Ks and four bases on balls, while Owens (1-2/2.03) copped the win with four scoreless frames, permitting just two hits... the Roosters had to battle back from a 2-1 deficit in the ninth to send the game into overtime... a one-out double by LF Alejandro Dominguez and an RBI double by pinchhitter Pudgy Howzer tied the score... Middlefield won it in the 12th when Jimmy Beach singled in Ike Gary with the winning score.
Far Mountain also got a good start from Josh Grover (2-0/2.08)... he went nine innings, yielding just two runs on nine hits, struck out five and issued no walks... closer Fernando Sanches (0-2/4.77) was tagged with the defeat, giving up one run and four hits in two and one-third innings.
The Roosters outhit the Redhawks 13 to 10... RF Sidney Conner (.317) and SS Jimmy Beach (.302) topped them with three hits apiece... and 3B Ike Gary (.278) and LF Alejandro Domingues (.294) chipped in two hits each... 2B Heinz Kohlmann (.385) lofted a home run in the seventh that gave Far Mountain the lead 2-1... Kohlmann and SS Warner Ronstadt (.625) had two hits apiece for the Redhawks.
Tycobbian Union
GLENNON'S HRS SALVAGE SPLIT, SUN SOX WIN IN 12TH
Using the longball as their main weapon, the Southport Sun Sox salvaged a split in the first two games of the Tycobbian LCS with a 6-4 victory in 12 innings at Red Bluff Park... Craig Glennon led the way with a pair of smashes that gave him six homers in the playoffs this year... Glennon's two-run clout in the top of the 12th won the game... closer Hal Combs (2-0/0.00) had a fine game, blanking the Sun Sox on three hits over the final four frames... the loss went to Carson Jamara (0-1/6.00), the victim of Glennon's game-winner.
Southport totaled 12 hits to 11 for the Red Sox... 3B Glennon (.364) and 1B Eddy Douglas (.355) socked three hits each for the Sun Sox... Glennon drove in three runs and now has 13 in the postseason... Douglas also went deep and batted in a pair of runs... Red Bluff 1B Josh Stevens (.278), SS Leemon O'Donovan (.361), RF David Kelso (.414) and CF Ike Sweetwater (.276) all collected two hits with Stevens getting the only roundtripper, a three-run blast in the third, when the Red Sox took a 4-2 lead... Stevens has four homers and 10 RBIs to lead his club in the postseason... Southport tied it up 4-4 with single runs in the fifth and seventh.
