Ruthlandian Union East Division First Round Playoffs

Elnora Sweeps Eastshore, Gibbs Gets 11 Ks
The Elnora All-Stars finished off the Eastshore Elegants 7-2 at home at State Fair Park and will now move on to the Sweet 16... The All-Stars swept the Elegants in two straight games... They bashed out 14 hits and got good pitching from Taylor Gibbs (1-0 2.00)... SS Joe Norris led the way with four hits, including a home run... Norris scored three times... C Todd Simons racked up two hits and three RBIs for the winners... Gibbs chalked up 11 strikeouts, permitted nine hits, but only two runs... The loser was Stony Blackwell (0-1), who was knocked out of the box in the fourth after allowing five runs on nine hits... Elnora now awaits the winner of the Cold Creek-Sugar Valley series.

Cold Creek Remains Alive, Beats Rattlers in Game 2
The Cold Creek Catamounts are back in the series... With their backs to the wall they came through and knocked off the tough Sugar Valley Rattlers 7-3 at Farmers Memorial Stadium to deadlock the RU East First Round playoff at one game each... The big heroes were pitcher Mitch Saffo and CF Trip Holmes... Holmes went 4-for-4, scored twice and drove in two runs... Holmes had a triple and a homer to pace the Catamounts... Saffo (1-0 3.00) went the distance, surrendered three runs on seven hits, fanned five and walked two... Cold Creek broke open a close 3-2 game with two runs in the seventh and two more in the ninth... It was a rough day for Jay Washington, the losing pitcher... He was tagged for five runs and 12 hits in six innings... Topping the Rattlers at bat was 1B Ron Armstrong with 2-3 with two RBIs... The series finale is scheduled tomorrow with the winner advancing to the Sweet 16.
