2045 IPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - Game 3

Ruthlandian Union

A'S STUN RATTLERS 8-7 IN GAME 3
Everything was going Sugar Valley's way until the top of the eighth inning, when everything went wrong... Glasco stormed back from a 5-1 deficit with 7 runs to take an 8-5 lead, then had to hold on as the Rattlers rallied to make it close... the Athletics escaped with a slim 8-7 victory in game three of the Ruthlandian League Championship Series played at Farmers Memorial Park in Sugar Valley... the A's lead the series two games to one.

RF Travis Houston (.250) and pinchhitter Rene Jesclard had the key hits in the big inning... they both bashed 3-run homers... Houston is having a great postseason with 5 homers and 11 RBIs... A's CF John Rumford (.325) had 3 hits, including his 3rd roundtripper... Glasco had hit 14 homers in the playoffs... RF Jeff Harvey paced the Rattlers with 2 RBIs and 3 hits, including a homer and a double... Sugar Valley collected 10 hits to 9 for the A's.

Glasco starter Basil Newchurch (2-0/3.38) labored but got the win... he gave up 5 runs in 7 innings on 7 hits... reliever Ken McLin (1-0/1.74) chalked up his second postseason save, but struggled... he surrendered 2 runs and 3 hits in his 2 innings... the Rattlers had the winning runs on second and third when McLin retired cleanup hitter CF Carl Ramsey (.297).

Losing pitcher Joe Snow (0-3/5.56) held Glasco to 3 hits and one run through seven frames, but was shelled in the eighth for 5 hits and 6 runs.

Tycobbian Union

SUN SOX SHOCK RED SOX ON LONG'S GRAND SLAM
Game three of the Tycobbian LCS was a game for the ages... it was a tense battle for 8 innings, tied at 3-3... then it took a turn toward the miraculous... Josh Stevens boomed a grand slammer to put Red Bluff seemingly in front to stay 7-3... only to have Southport mount an impossible comeback with 5 runs for a fantastic 8-7 win, culminating with James Long's miracle grand slam homer to give the Sun Sox a third consecutive victory in the best-of seven affair... Southport lost the opening game of the Division Series, but has rolled to seven straight wins since then... one more win over Red Bluff in the LCS and the Sun Sox will get a golden chance to repeat as IPA champion.

Starters Jack Wallace (2-0/2.22) for Red Bluff and Cade Brockton (1-0/2.16) for Southport kept things under control for the first 8 frames... Wallace was touched for 3 runs on 7 hits in his 8 innings, while Brockton allowed 3 runs on 6 hits in his 7 and two-thirds innings... then the bullpens took over and both of them tried to lose it... the Red Sox clobbered Hal Combs for 4 runs on 2 hits in the top of the ninth and seemed almost certain to get their first win the series... but no... Ayden Carmack (0-1) was even worse as he was slammed for 5 runs and 3 hits by the Sun Sox to take the crushing loss.

The Sun Sox had the advantage in hits 10 to 9... Southport CF Barney Lewis (.152) sparked them with 3 hits... LF Chris Jones (.300) drove in a pair of runs and scored twice... SS Gonzalo Topez (.452) was 1-for-3 and scored 3 times... Stevens (.310) had a double and the grand slam and drove in 5 runs for the Red Sox... he now has 3 homers in the playoffs and 11 RBIs... 3B Fran Blanchard (.289) got his third roundtripper in the playoffs and had 2 hits.
