IPA DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES: Game 5

WHITE RIVER KNOCKS SAN ALEJO OUT OF PLAYOFFS
The big bats of the White River Rascals were out in force with 17 hits as they knocked San Alejo out of the postseason playoffs with a 9-5 shellacking in game five, giving the Rascals the TU Division Championship Series four games to one... three Rascals, Billy Joe Hickman, Ryan Byrd and Ruben Reaves, all went deep to finish off the Montaneros for the season.

After falling behind 3-0 after two innings, White River went to work on five San Alejo pitchers by scoring eight unanswered runs to take an 8-3 lead in the eighth... 2B Byrd (.250) had two hits and three RBIs... LF Hickman (.217) and 1B Reaves (.208) both drilled two hits each and batted in two runs... but the biggest hit output came from SS Kunta Burton (.500) collecting four hits and 3B Kenny Yarbrough (.440) with three... the Rascals only got decent pitching from winning pitcher Butch Slattery (2-0/3.60) and closer Ronald Doss (0-0/3.60/2 saves)... Slattery permitted three runs and seven hits in six frames, fanning seven and walking four... Doss allowed two runs and four hits in three innings for his second postseason save.

RF Erik Landau (.458) paced the Monties with a solo homer among his four hits... CF Pablo Teixeira (.217) went 2 for 5 with a two-blast among his three hits and three RBIs... the defeat went to starter Bernie Bernhoffer (0-2/8.38), who was shelled for five runs on seven hits in his four and one-third innings, leaving the game behind 5-3.

White River manager Mick Cronyn praised his club for their fine play in the first round. "It was a good start with strong bats... and good pitching... that's what we'll need to win our first Pro Cup.. we've just got to keep it up."

San Alejo skipper Filipe Zamora said his club was crushed. "They batted .305 and averaged six runs a game, while holding us to less than three a game... I'm really impressed with the Rascals... they should really do well in the playoffs... I think they are the dominant team in the Tycobbian Union... and maybe in the IPA... a Pro Cup championship wouldn't be out of the question."
