Tycobbian Union 2004 Sweet 16 Series

Red Caps Shock Colchester 7-6, Takes Series
For the second time in the Sweet 16 Series the Oxford Red Caps stunned Colchester and came back to win, not only the game, but this time, the series. The Elites piled up a 6-0 lead after five innings and seemed destined to advance to the next round. But Campy Roy's Boys would have none of that. The Red Caps erupted for four runs in the sixth, spirited by LF Mac Spencer's (.316) three-run double, two more in the eighth to tie it on a C Brad Earp (.278) single and an Elite error and won it in last of the ninth 7-6 on 3B Joe Courtney's (.389) single. Oxford pounded out 12 hits to win its third straight game over Colchester. The other miraculous win was in game three when the Red Caps had to score five runs in the last two innings to remain alive in the series.

The Colchester bats went to work early with four runs in the third and two more in the fifth and looked unbeatable. 1B Harlan Roscoe had a three-run clout and four RBIs all total. 3B Niles Stanton also sent one out of the park - but all in vain. Roy got superb relief work from Wayne Baxley, who gave him three scoreless innings in the sixth, seventh and eighth, and Emerson Carnell, who blanked Colchester in the ninth. Carnell (2-0 0.00) was the winning pitcher, while Elite closer Tom Carter (0-1 4.26) lost it. Carter was battered for three runs and five hits in his two-plus frames.

The Red Caps will now battle the Luxora Zorros in the Elite 8 Series. The two teams ran 1-2 in the Tycobbian Union North this season. The series begins tomorrow afternoon in Luxora at De la Vega Stadium.

Red Bluff Survives, Beats DC 3 In A Row
"I'm mighty glad it was a five-game series this year. We would have been long gone otherwise," Red Bluff manager Mack Connery told the press after the Red Sox took their third-in-a-row from Denton City to win the Sweet 16 Series three-games-to-two. Connery got a strong effort in game five from his ace Milo Mohoski (1-0 2.12), who held the Redbirds to just four hits in the 6-2 triumph.

Mohoski, a 21-game winner in the regular season, walked nobody and fanned six in a standout performance. He held Denton City scoreless after they took the lead 2-0 in the top of the first on an RBI triple by CF Paul Coniglio (211) and a sacrifice fly by RF Lavon Gooch (.188). A solo homer by Red Sox 3B Vern Gable (.526) made it 2-1 in the bottom of the inning. C Virgil Carpenter (.333) tied the score in the second with another roundtripper. Red Bluff took the lead 4-2 for good in the third frame on an RBI single by 1B Bucky Frizzell (.316) and a balk. RF Kris Grabowski (.474) singled in another score in the fifth and Gable accounted for the final run in the seventh when he scored from third on a ground-out by LF Tony Blundell (.211).

The Red Sox racked up 11 hits in the game, sparked by Gable with four. Gable also scored three times. Taking the loss for Denton City was starter Burton McGarrick (1-1 4.50), who was shelled for four runs and six hits in just three innings.

Red Bluff really has its work cut out for it. They will tangle with the powerful Bayview Vikings, who destroyed Tuckanarra in a three-game sweep. The Elite 8 Series will open tomorrow at Red Bluff Park. The Red Sox will host the first two games of the series with the rest scheduled in Bayview.
