Ruthlandian Union 2013 Elite 8 Series

Redhawks Slam Crusaders 10-4, Up 2-0 In Elite 8
The red-hot Far Mountain Redhawks played like champions again in game two of the RU Elite 8 Series and slammed St. John 10-4 to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. In the second inning Far Mountain cracked open a 3-3 tie with 4 runs to take a 7-3 lead, then finished off the Crusaders with 3 more in the fifth. CF Xavier Sosa and 3B Duane Parsons paced them with home runs. Sosa had 3 hits and 4 RBIs, while Parsons collected 2 hits, drove in 3 and scored 3 times. Boomerang Hines (14-5) cruised to the victory, allowed 10 hits, 3 earned runs, struck out 6 and walked 3. Pat Tarkovsky suffered the loss for the Crusaders as he was bashed for 7 runs and 7 hits in only 2 and two-thirds innings.

Sundowners Even Series, Stop Lumberjacks 4-2
At Granger Field in Wynnamac, the hometown Sundowners trailed Paul Crews and Forest City 2-1 going into the bottom of the eighth, when their bats came alive for 3 runs to knock off the Lumberjacks 4-2 and even up the Elite 8 Series at one game apiece. RF Joey Eaton tied it up with a sacrifice fly and Big Hoss Burkhalter put them ahead with an RBI double. CF Clive Farnham tacked on an insurance run with a single. Wynnamac starter Lenny Ward (17-17) tossed a strong game, holding the Lumberjacks to 2 runs and 5 hits in 8 innings. Ward picked up the win with help from closer Dan Stevens (7-8), who worked a scoreless ninth for the save. The Sundowners had the edge in hits 9-6. Eaton also doubled in a run in the first inning. Crews (19-9) was the loser as he surrendered 4 runs and 9 hits in a complete game. Crews struck out 8 and walked only 1 batter.
