Ruthlandian Union East Division First Round Playoffs

Rattlers Rally Late, Edge Catamounts 5-4 in Opener
On the road at Holmes Field in Cold Creek, the visiting Sugar Valley Rattlers rallied from a 3-1 fifth-inning deficit to edge the Catamounts 5-4 in the first game of the RU East First Round playoff series... The Rattlers cracked 14 hits, but left 12 runners on base... the winning run was unearned when 2B Matt Breitmayer dropped a throw in the top of the eighth... Gregg Neal (1-0 4.00) went the distance and toughed out a victory... He gave up four runs on seven hits... LF Bruno DiPirro had two for four and two RBIs for Far Mountain... 3B Jorge Vargas had three hits in the game... RF Karl Yashin drove in a pair of runs for Cold Creek... the loss went to closer Lew MacAlester (0-1 3.00), who gave up six hits, but only one run in three innings... Dave Molinari (0-0 4.50), a 16-game winner in the regular season, started and worked the first six frames, yielding three runs an eight hits... The best-of-three series now switches to Sugar Valley... the Rattlers will try to wrap it up tomorrow.

Elnora Hangs On, Nips Eastshore 6-5 in Game 1
In the game one of the RU East First Round Series at Kraft Stadium, Elnora's Charlie Murphy breezed to a 6-0 lead after seven innings, then Eastshore awoke from its slumber and made a game of it with a big 5-run rally in the eighth... With the tying and winning runs on second and third base, reliever Stevie Howard fanned pinchhitter Carl Henriksen to end the threat...Howard finished the Elegants off 6-5 with a scoreless ninth... Murphy (1-0 5.14), however received credit for the win, going seven innings and giving up four runs on nine hits... Eastshore starter Thomas Williams (0-1 8.10) was tagged with the loss, allowing six runs in six-plus innings... wildness cost the Elegants... their pitchers walked in three runs in the game... Eastshore outhit the All-Stars 12 to 11... The best-of-three series will continue tomorrow at State Fair Park in Elnora.
