Tycobbian Union North Division First Round Playoffs

Frogs Cops First Game, Nip Zorros 2-1
The fans at the Frog Pond were treated to a good pitcher's duel in the first game of the TU North First Round playoffs... Robby Meredith of Fairfax outdueled Tito Tovares of Luxora 2-1 to go one game up in the best-of-three series... Meredith (1-0) limited the Zorros to five hits, fanned six and issued three bases on balls... Tovares (0-1) allowed two runs on eight hits with five Ks and walked nobody... LF Gator Davis drove in both runs for the Frogs with a solo homer in the second and an RBI double in the sixth... Luxora's only run came in the fourth frame on on singles by LF Pedro Vizquel and CF Lacey Tompkins and a ground out by RF Cristo Viamonte... Game two is on tap tomorrow at De la Vega Stadium in Luxora... Game three will also be played there, if needed.

Haymakers KO Oxford 6-4 in Playoff Opener
The Heartland Stadium faithful went home happy as their hometown Mahaska Haymakers KO'd the Oxford Red Caps 6-4 in the playoff opener... three back-to-back doubles decided the game in the last of the eighth... CF Brad Mazure, C Marty Murrell and pinchhitter Barry Owen supplied the winning hits... The Haymakers trailed 4-1 going into the bottom of the fifth and tied it up with three runs... Sparking the win were 1B Thom Scarborough and Mazure with two RBIs each... Mahaska squandered most of its 16 hits and was led by RF Jeff McElroy and Murrell with three hits apiece... CF Ike Plunkett paced the Red Caps with two hits and three RBIs, including the only home run in the game... Manager Rusty Tanussa got excellent work from his bullpen with Greg Turchin and closer Dain Abner completely shutting down Oxford over the last three frames... Turchin (1-0) got the win with two scoreless innings and Abner picked up the save with 1-2-3 ninth... The loss went to starter Jim Melanakos (0-1 7.04). He was shelled for six runs and 15 hits in seven-plus innings. The best-of-three series will now go to Winchester Stadium in Oxford.
