ROOSTERS NEAR SWEEP, UP 3-0
Playing on the road at Granger Park in Wynnamac, the current Pro Cup champion Middlefield Roosters moved closer to knocking off the Sundowners in the Ruthlandian DCS... in a tense 10-inning game the Roosters pulled out a 3-2 win to take a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series... the Middlefield fans are breaking out the brooms for game four... an error by second baseman Danny McDougal (.970 FA) was the Sundowners downfall... LF Rufus Blackburn (.375) singled off reliever Duncan Heathershaw (0-1) to lead off the 10th... McDougal then botched CF Johnny Wyatt's (417) grounder and put runners on first and second... RF Trip Agarn (.357) hit into a force play at second with Blackburn moving to third base... 3B Natty Colclough (.100) grounded into another force play at second base and Wyatt scored the go-ahead run when Wynnamac failed to complete the double play... Yazzy Yastrzemski (1-0) notched the victory, but gave up the tying run in the last of the 9th... game four will also be played at Granger Park in Wynnamac.

TARS TRIM WESTERNERS, BROOM TIME
It was another pressure-filled playoff game at Westerner Field where the visiting Taranto Tars trimmed Waleska 2-1 in game three of the Ruthlandian Division Championship Series... it's also broom time in this series... Taranto is totally in the driver's seat with a 3-0 edge in the best-of-seven series... one more victory by the Tars and the Westerners will call it a season... Taranto got a standout job from number three starter Freddy DeAngelis (1-0), who held Waleska to just one run on five singles, struck out six batters and walked only one... Westerner starter Trey Earnest (0-2) was pretty tough, too... he worked seven innings, allowed only two runs and eight hits, while fanning six and walking two... both clubs got fine pitching... Taranto drew first blood in the top of the 3rd on a solo homer by RF Cody Losby (.467)... it was his 2nd of the series... Waleska evened it up 1-all in the last of the 5th... C Jimmy Butler (.182) walked, was bunted to second and came home on a two-out base hit by 2B Richie Fry (.143)... a single by Taranto LF Kuma Toyota (.187) and 1B Phil Wilson's (.250) provided the winning score in the 6th... that was all the runs winning pitcher Freddy DeAngelis needed... he blanked the Westerners over the final four frames to seal the verdict... Taranto will try and sweep the series this afternoon at Westerner Field in Waleska.

HEDGES HURLS SHUTOUT, TURON TAKES LEAD 2-1
In game three of the Tycobbian Division Championship Series, Turon got an extraordiinary mound performance from young 24-year-old Yancey Hedges, who hurled a 4-hit shutout, blanking the Oxford Red Caps 4-0 at Winchester Park.. that gave the Typhoons a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series... hot-hitting Oxford had trouble handling his mid-90's fastball... Hedges (1-0) was in command, walking none and striking out one... Turon collected 11 hits and was led by clean-up hitter Joel Guidry (.455), who socked his 3rd roundtripper of the series and batted in a pair of runs... Doyle Ashcroft (.462) also drove in two runs in the 3-run 4th that pretty much put away the Red Caps... Homer Keaton (0-1) caught the loss, going six innings, but only allowed two earned runs.

MANNON MOPS UP ON MIDWAY, GIVES DC LEAD
Playing at home at Douglas Denton Field, the underdog Denton City Redbirds got a rock-solid start from the number three man in the rotation, Jayson Mannon, and took a 2-1 lead over the favored Midway Wolves in the Tycobbian first-round matchup in the IPA Pro Cup playoffs... junk-balling Mannon (1-0) mopped up on the Wolves 4-1, limiting them to just one run on seven hits with five Ks and only one base on balls... the Redbirds only got five hits, but it was enough... LF Paul McMahon (.667) and 2B Rich Prince (.333) broke up a scoreless duel with back-to-back two-baggers in the last of the fifth... they also posted three more on the scoreboard in the next frame on a two-run double by 1B Val Anniston (.200) and an RBI single by McMahon... 25-game winning left-hander Will DeBerry (0-1) was pinned with the defeat, smacked for four runs and five hits in seven frames.
