Ruthlandian Union West Division First Round Playoffs

Roosters Rally, Top Volusia 6-4, Series Now Even
Middlefield was down to its last six outs in its season when it erupted for four runs in the top of the eighth to top Volusia 6-4 at the Jailhouse... The Roosters will now live another day in the IPA playoffs... They were down 3-2 and had not scored for the last five innings against Mike Amato, when their bats came alive and pulled out the victory... CF Ty DeWitt drove in two of the runs, while 3B Lowell Satterwhite and 1B Ricky Tinker batted in the other two in the crucial inning... LF Cecil Clark went deep for the winners in the first inning... C Juanito Luques led the 10-hit Vigilante attack with three hits and two RBIs, including a home run... Southpaw Freddy Cooke (1-0 2.57) notched the win, working seven innings, allowing three runs - just two of them earned - struck out seven and walked none... Dave Webb saved it for him, but surrendered one run in his two innings... Game three will be played tomorrow in Volusia.

Stars Stave Off Elimination, Nip 'Jacks 9-8
The Stoner Stars came from way back to nip the Forest City Lumberjacks 9-8 to stave off elimination from the playoffs... Stoner rallied from a 6-2 deficit with five runs in the sixth to take a 7-6 lead, but were tied up 8-8 after eight innings... 3B Allen Black won it in the top of the ninth with his second homer of the day... CF Joe Delmore also smacked a home run... Black, Delmore and 2B Ed Chase paced the Stars with two RBIs each... Forest City outhit them 14-11 with 3B Johnny Mack Butler going 3-5 with three runs batted in and RF Chuck Hill getting three hits and driving in a pair of scores... Hill hit the Lumberjacks only roundtripper... Not much in the way of pitching in this game... Kelly Schaeffer (1-0) was credited with the victory, but gave up two runs in the eighth and allowed Forest City to tie it up... However, after walking the lead-off batter in the ninth, he tossed a double-play ball and fanned the last batter to seal the win... Johnny Marsh (0-1 3.00) was the victim of Black's game-winning blast and suffered the defeat... The two clubs will meet again tomorrow at Riverside Stadium in Forest City to decide who gets to continue in the playoffs... The victor will meet the Volusia-Middlefield winner.
