2007 Ruthlandian Union Pro Cup Elite 8 Series

Crusaders Whip Ancona Again, Garson Wins It 5-1
22-year-old Teddy Garson pitched the underdog St. John Crusaders to a 5-1 triumph over Ancona to give them a 2-0 lead in the RU Pro Cup Elite 8 Series. Garson allowed nine hits, but was stingy with men on base. The Red Elephants couldn't buy a hit with runners in scoring position and stranded 13. Garson (1-0) walked four and struck out seven in going the route. St. John roughed up three Ancona pitchers for 12 hits and were paced by 1B Abe Worthy (.375) with three hits and LF Josh Dillon (.250) with a pair of RBIs. Dave Webb (0-1) was stuck with the loss. The Crusaders banged him around for 10 hits and three runs in seven innings.

The series will now switch to St. John for the next three games, if needed.

Stoner Squeezes By Cold Creek Again, Up 2-0
The Stoner Stars took their second straight road victory at Holmes Field in Cold Creek defeating the favored Catamounts 4-3 to go up two games to none in the best-of-seven RU Pro Cup Elite 8 Series. With runners on first and third and two outs, 2B Johnny Nowitzki (.222) came through with an RBI single to score RF Dutch Rheinecker (.000) with the winning run in top of the ninth. Starter Georgie West (1-0) got the win with relief help from Dave Pierre in the last of the ninth. West hurled eight innings and surrendered three runs on eight hits with two earned. Pierre picked up the save with a perfect inning. Tommy Weeks (0-1) caught the loss. He worked into the ninth and was tagged for 12 hits and four runs.

Cold Creek grabbed a 2-0 edge in the first inning. 1B Nat Mayakovsky (.222) doubled in both runs. The Stars evened it up at 2-all as Rheinecker grounded into a double play for one run and CF Jason Bethelot (.667) plated the second one with a double. The Catamounts regained the lead in the fourth frame when they scored on an error by 2B Nowitzki. Stoner rallied to make it 3-3 on 1B Alan Guilford's (.250) RBI single that scored Berthelot from third base. LF Bruce Boatman (.750) led the Stars with three hits, while CF Trip Holmes (.429) and RF Emile Stosha (.333) had two hits each for Cold Creek.

Game three and four will be played in Stoner, and game five if necessary.

2007 Tycobbian Union Pro Cup Elite 8 Series

Viks Power Past Tuckanarra 8-1, Gavagan Winner
The Bayview Vikings dominated the Tuckanarra Blue Jays for the second day in a row at Downtown Plaza Stadium. The Vikings ripped them for 12 hits in an 8-1 romp behind another strong performance by Connie Gavagan (1-0), who stopped the Blue Jays on five hits. Bayview hammered three out of the park with LF Sundown Helaku (.250), CF Tommy Riddle (.667) and RF Kelton Carpenter (.400) all going deep, while C Hank Bethel (.333) chipped in a two-run double. 19-game winner Roy Spence (0-1) was the losing pitching. The Viks racked up seven runs and 11 hits off him in six-plus frames. Tuckanarra's only run came in the opening inning on a solo roundtripper by 3B Cameron Kamara (.375).

The Blue Jays will be happy to go back home to Tuckanarra for games three, four and possibly five, if needed.

Red Caps Rout Elites 9-0, Phillips Evens Series
The Oxford Red Caps gained a split in the two games played in Colchester at Heyward Field. The Red Caps routed the Elites 9-0 on a 4-hit shutout by Dan Phillips and the big bat of LF Mack Spencer (.500), who cracked two homers and batted in four runs. It was a match-up between two 20-game winners with Phillips coming out the winner over Frank Payne. Oxford broke up a scoreless duel with three runs in the fourth frame, all coming on Spencer's first homer. He also got another off Payne in the sixth. The Red Caps wrapped it up with a five-run ninth off relievers. 1B Timmy Binford (.375) collected three hits and two RBIs for the winners. The Elites played lousy defense, committed three errors and gave up six undeserved scores. Payne (0-1) lost it as he allowed four runs and seven hits in eight innings.

With the Pro Cup Elite 8 Series now tied at one game apiece, it will now head to Oxford for the next three games.
