Ruthlandian Union League Championship Series - Game 4

MACS SMACK REDHAWKS, UP 3-1, NEAR RU TITLE
The Wynnamac Sundowners teed off on Far Mountain pitching in game four of the Ruthlandian Finals... the Macs smack them for 16 hits and outscored Far Mountain 10-5 to go ahead three games to one in the best-of-seven series at Sky High Stadium... one more win and the Sundowners will advance to the Pro Cup Finals for the second straight season... SS Whiz Ivie (.391/2 RBI), C Jethro Bibbs (.277/7 RBI) and LF Marv Washburn (.310/12 RBI) all batted in two runs apiece and 1B Enos Benham (.375/6 RBI) rapped three hits, scored three times and drove in a run... 1B Benjy Donahue's (.273/5 RBI) three-run clout that put the Redhawks in the lead 5-4 in the last of the seventh, but they couldn't hold back the Sundowners, who demolished them the final two frames with six runs... Garan Parula (1-0/4.11) staggered in with the win, going seven innings and giving up five runs, but he had to get relief help from closer Tike Collazo (1-1/3.18/2 saves/6 G), who held the Redhawks runless in the 8th and 9th frames.

Tycobbian Union League Championship Series - Game 4

RASCALS DO IT AGAIN, TIE SERIES WITH WOLVES
After dropping the first two games of the TU title series to the Midway Wolves, the White Rivier Rascals have come back and captured games three and four on their own diamond, White River Stadium... game five will also be there... the Rascals jolted the Wolves for six runs in the second inning and went on to win it 6-3, getting a gutsy effort from 20-year-old Noel Woods, who in a surprise got the starting assignment from manager Marty Blake... it was his first start of the season after 40 relief appearances... Woods (1-0/2.45/3 G) was touched for 11 hits by Midway, but he limited them to three runs in eight and two-thirds innings... Woods fanned seven Wolves and walked just two of them... he was 3-2 in the regular season... Midway left 11 runners on base... White River was sparked by 3B Kenny Yarbrough (.160/4 RBI) and 1B Fred Kraft (.205/4 RBI), both with homers... C Bobby Martinez (.259/5 RBI) went deep for Midway.
