Tycobbian Union 2004 Sweet 16 Series

Zorros Get A NO-NO, Hoffman No-Hits Hurricanes
22-year-old righthander Eddie Hoffman made history today at De la Vega Stadium in Luxora. Hoffman hurled the first playoff no-hitter ever in the IPA. Hoffman was briliant, halting Cape Coral 1-0 in game one of the Sweet 16 Series. Hoffman walked two batters and struck out five. The winning score came in the bottom of the fifth when Joel Reed led off with a double and was sacrificed to third base. Hurricane starter Doug Lyons walked two batters to load the bases, then Pablo Santa Cruz delivered the go-ahead base hit and Hoffman made it stand up. Losing pitcher Lyons (0-1) only surrendered four hits himself, walked two and fanned three in a superb outing.

The two clubs will duke it out again tomorrow in Luxora with Cody Burg (24-8 2.13) working for Cape Coral and Tito Tovares (16-12 3.04) doing the honor for the Z's.

Division Champs In Trouble, 3 Lose Sweet 16 Openers
After the first day of play in the IPA Sweet 16 playoffs, the second-place clubs are doing quite well. Division winners Cape Coral, Oxford and Red Bluff all lost the series openers. Only Bayview played like champions.

Bayview Trounces Tuckanarra 11-1 in Game One
At Central Park Stadium in Tuckanarra, the Bayview Vikings trounced the Blue Jays 11-2 behind an 11-hit barrage and a strong outing by Jerry Harrison. Bayview was led by Dean Howell and Hank Bethel, who drove in three runs each and Karl Yashin and Chancey Quibedeaux with two apiece. Harrison (1-0) fired a 5-hitter, fanned six and walked none in a fine performance. Loser Niles Applewhite did make it out of the first inning as he was belted for four runs and four hits. Bethel got the only homer for the winners, while Gavin Munro hit a solo job for Tuckanarra.

Game two is tomorrow in Tuckanarra. The pitching assignments will pit the Vikings Georgie Fambreau (12-8 3.47) against the Blue Jays Mike Amato (16-12 3.67).

Colchester Crushes Oxford In 1st Game 13-6
In the first game of the Sweet 16 Series at Heyward Stadium, the Colchester Elites came back from a 3-0 deficit to crush the Oxford Red Caps 13-6 with four home runs and 17 hits. Harlan Roscoe whacked two roundtrippers with Tom Barella and Niles Stanton cracking the other two. Barella's was a 3-run smash in the fourth to send Colchester ahead 6-3. After Oxford narrowed it to 6-4 in the sixth, the Elites put them away with a 6-run seventh. Barella and Stanton had 3 RBIs each, while Roscoe and Leland Curtis batted in two runs apiece. Barella, Curtis and Roscoe all collected three hits each. The victory went to reliever Hootie Boatner (1-0), who sparkled in his three innings. Boatner allowed no runs and one hit for the win. Wayne Baxley, the second of five hurlers for the Red Caps, was the losing pitcher. He was slugged for three runs and five hits in just two frames. He exited trailing 6-4.

Campy Roy has designated Nicky Nicholson (22-9 2.71) his game two starter. Rookie Jimmy Simmons (18-10 2.89) got the call from Uncle Robbie Wilbertson. The second game in the best-of-five set will be played in Colchester.

DC Redbirds Slip By RB Red Sox 4-3 in 1st Game
At Douglas Denton Field in Denton City the hometown Redbirds rebounded in the late innings to slip past Red Bluff 4-3. The Red Sox built up a 3-1 margin after five frames, but Denton City tied them up 3-3 in the sixth and wrapped up the win with a run in the eighth. Danny Nash was the hero as he doubled in Jay Petit with the winning score. Closer Bubba Lear (1-0) notched the victory as he retired all six batters he faced in the final two innings. John Dougherty (0-1) took the loss as he gave up one run and two hits in two innings. Petit paced the Redbirds at bat with a perfect 3-3 performance. Stan Helmke led Red Bluff with a two-run homer in the fifth that snapped a 1-1 tie. Gino Carmazzo started and hurled seven innings for Denton City, allowed three runs and nine hits, while Frank Beaudoin logged six innings for the Red Sox and was touched for three runs - one unearned - in six frames. The Red Sox had the advantage 9-8 in hits.

The clubs will head back to the diamond in Denton City tomorrow for the second game of the series. Mila Moholski (21-10 2.36) will work for Red Bluff, opposed by Burton McGarrick (14-8 2.95).
