2005 IPA Sweet 16 Series

Tycobbian Union

Sunsets Sink Luxora, Wins Series in Four Games
The sun has set on Luxora's season. The Zorros, who easily won the TU North this season, have fallen to the Summerland Sunsets in four games in the Sweet 16 Series. Summerland finished them off 7-5 today at De la Vega Stadium in Luxora much to the dismay of the Zorro loyalists. LF Hank Hamilton (.308) rapped two doubles and batted in four runs to led the Sunsets. SS Zee Overbeek (.357) also played a part with three hits and three runs scored. Summerland built up a 6-3 lead after four innings and held on, although the Z's made it close with LF Joel Reed's two-run shot in the eighth.

Lefty Paul Felkner (1-1 4.61) got credit for the victory. He hurled six innings, allowed three runs on seven hits. Closer Bobby Winwood (0-0 3.86) registered his second save of the series, but was tagged for Reed's roundtripper. Winwood worked three innings and yielded two hits and two runs with two strikeouts and no base on balls. Luxora's top batters were Reed (.412) with two hits and two RBIs and CF Cristo Viamonte (.333), who went 3-for-4, scored twice and batted in a run. Fernando Fernandes (1-1 4.38) was the losing pitcher. He was ripped for six runs in less than four innings.

DC Still Breathing, Evens Series with Ozarka Nats
Denton City is still breathing after the Redbirds eked out a 5-4 win over Ozarka at Douglas Denton Field for the second day in a row. The two clubs are now all even at two games apiece in the Sweet 16 Series. It took 11 hits and five pitchers to stave off elimination today. The heroes were 3B Jay Petit (.125), who clouted a two-run homer in the fifth to break a 3-3 tie and relievers Mike Danek and Bubba Lear, who held the Naturals runless over the last three frames. DC's RF Lavon Gooch (.563) had three hits in five at-bats, scored twice and had an RBI.

Roger Ramsey (1-0) picked up the win, but gave up two runs in his two innings and allowed Ozarka to tie the score in the fifth. Pat Schwartz (0-1) was the victim of Petit's blast and he got the loss. The Nats starting pitcher Karl Kleinert had a home run in the third inning to cut the Redbirds lead to 3-1. Ozarka had seven hits in all.

CC 'Canes Even Up with Hellcats, Win in 10
It's a seesaw Sweet 16 Series. Today at Seaside Stadium in Cape Coral it was the Hurricanes turn to win against Hartsdale and they did it on a bases-loaded walk in the tenth inning. 2B Fancy Phelan (.357) led off the inning and walked, 3B Hoshi Sato (.154) doubled and LF Kippy Doyle (.125) was intentionally walked - that brought 1B Sammy Harding (.267) to the plate to face Nico Carnera - and Carnera walked him to force in the winning run. The hard-earned 2-1 victory evened up the best-of-five game series at two apiece.

It was a well-pitched ball game. Cape Coral got just six hits, while Hartsdale could only muster three. Max Darenhauer got the start in place of the injured Jeff Salow. Darenhauer pitched extremely well, limiting the Hellcats to just three hits in six innings with five Ks and three walks. Cape Coral relievers pitched even better as they held the Hellcats hitless for the rest of the game. Cal Holtzman, Arlie Nichols and winner Bart Thomas (1-0) were brilliant in their four innings. Hartsdale starter Ben Manderson worked into the ninth and allowed just five hits, while striking out five and walking five. Carnera (1-1 2.70) was the losing pitcher.

Hartsdale got its only run of the game in the second frame on LF Emile Djorovich's (.250) double and an RBI single by C Lawton Payne (.357). The Hurricanes knotted it up on Harding's solo salvo in the last of the second.

Bucs-Red Sox Tied 2-2 in Sweet 16
Great relief work and strong bats gave Bay St. Clair a 9-5 twelve-inning triumph over Red Bluff to tie the Sweet 16 Series at two games each. Down two games to none, the visiting Buccaneers have rebounded to win two consecutive games at Red Bluff Park. CF Skeeter Hall (.474) lashed a two-run double in the twelfth for the go-ahead runs, then two more runs came across on LF Stan Denton's (.263) single that RF Kris Grabowski misplayed. After the Red Sox tied the score at 5-5 in the eighth inning, relievers Duke DeVree, Kenny Metcalf, and Ben Crowley blanked them for four and two-thirds innings on just one hit. Metcalf (1-0) got the win with two scoreless innings. He retired all six batters he faced in the tenth and eleventh innings. Crowley closed out the game with a perfect inning. Closer John Dougherty (0-1 3.86) was zapped for four runs in his two-plus innings for the loss.

Bay St. Clair had 14 hits to 11 for Red Bluff and were sparked by Hall with three hits and three RBIs, Denton had two hits and three RBIs and 2B Tony Mann (.250) and SS Chuck Hankins (.286) collected three hits each. Red Sox 3B Newt Lovell (.500) continued his hot hitting with three-for-five.
