2050 IPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - Game 5

Tycobbian Union

HAWKINS KEEPS BUCS ALIVE 6-3 IN GAME 5
Dion Hawkins came up with a big game and kept the Bay St. Clair Buccaneers alive in the Tycobbian LCS, whipping White River 6-3 in game five... Hawkins (1-2/2.39) stopped the Rascals on one run and three hits over seven innings to narrow the Rascals' lead to three games to two... he was relieved in the eighth by Cadillac Bogart (0-0/3.00/1 save) leading 6-1... Bogart gave up two in the ninth, but still preserved the victory... still the Buccaneers have a mighty big row to hoe to win the final two games of the best-of-seven series and do it on the road in White River... the Rascals are 5-1 at White River Stadium in the playoffs, while Bay St. Clair is only 1-4 out of town.

Offensively the Bucs blasted 13 hits with 3B Trace Burney (.277) getting three of them and driving in two runs... pinchhitter Stan Terry (.250) also delivered a two-run triple... and 1B Clive Caviness (.244) and 2B Dwayne Mungle (.268) added the other RBIs... Caviness leads the postseason with 13 RBIs... C Duke Sims (.237) sparked the Rascals with two hits and two RBIs... LF Billy Joe Hickman (.167) accounted for the other run.

White River starter Nicky Palmer (2-1/2.94) took the brunt of the loss, being slammed for 12 hits and all six scores... it was his first defeat this playoff season.
