BP Muskies Thump Colfax Again, Up 2-0 in Elite 8
Boo Ladrieux told the press after today game, "We know Colfax is the big dog in RU this year, but that don't mean we have lie down and just go through the motions. I told my players, since we have to show up and play the game, that means we have a chance to win." The Belle Plaine Musketeers did it again... they knocked off the favored Colfax Blasters for the second day in a row and are now up two games to none in the RU Elite 8 Series. The Musketeers thumped them 6-2 at Mountain View Stadium in Colfax... Danny Griffin (1-0) gave Ladrieux a good start... he gave up a 11 hits in eight innings, but held the hard-hitting Blasters to just two runs... Tony Pariseau closed out the game, but loaded the bases before he shakily got the third out... Colfax collected 13 hits in all, but stranded 12 baserunners... Jimmy Joe Cartner (0-1) suffered the defeat as he allowed four runs and eight hits in his seven innings... 2B Floyd Vinson led the Muskies 11-hit attack with two hits and two RBIs... C Tibby Charbert chipped in two doubles, scored twice and batted across one run... and SS Dave Torregrossa also had two hits and scored two runs... SS Phil Amundsen homered in defeat for the Blasters... Belle Plaine ran up a 4-0 lead after seven innings... Colfax didn't score until the eighth when they cut the gap to 4-2.

Manager Clem Rogers complained, "We just can't get a hit with runners on base. It better change soon otherwise it's adios for us. But that will soon change. We hit the ball too good to be silenced like this for very long."

Redhawks Stomp Diamonds 11-3, Take 2-Game Lead
The fans at Sky High Stadium rejoiced again today as their Far Mountain Redhawks stomped Claxton 11-3 in game two of the Pro Cup Elite 8 Series... The Redhawks easily took their second straight victory with a 17-hit barrage... 2B Duane Parsons and SS Don Nichols each hit two-run homers and C Otis Ott smacked a solo shot... Alex Groveland got a solid performance from Leroy Hill (1-0), who went the route, fanned six, walked two and held the Diamonds to just three runs on nine hits... He was tagged for homers by 1B Mike Luzzatti and LF Helmut Graczyk... Far Mountain leaped ahead right off the bat with four runs in each of the first two innings... Loser Pat Grange (0-1) was totally ineffective... he was slammed for seven runs in one-plus innings.
