2019 IPA Elite 8 Series (best-of-seven)

Ruthlandian Union

Taranto Trounces Claxton 7-2, Wins Elite 8
The Taranto Tars bats were just too much for the Claxton Diamonds as they finished them off in five games in the RU Elite 8 Series... The Tars trounced the Diamonds 7-2 in game 5 at Avalon Stadium in Claxton behind the solid 6-hit pitching by Yuri Dozhenko, a 43-year-old right-hander... Dozhenko (1-0 2.84) went the distance in the clinching game and gave up only 1 earned run... Taranto clubbed losing pitcher Tom Dahl (0-1 18.00) for 6 runs in just 5 innings...the Tars racked up 10 hits and were paced by homers by RF Augie Marshall (.400) and LF Arnie Kennedy (.227)... Tar 1B Pietro Skrmetta (.389) had 2 hits and drove in 2 runs... Taranto will now advance to the RU Final 4 against the Rocky Rapids Snappers, who knocked off highly-rated Eastshore in four games.

Tycobbian Union

Nats Eliminates Reds 1-0 In Game 5
Ozarka veteran Yuka Nawajuk and Rolling Hills rookie Errol Gaudet locked up in a mound masterpiece that was decided in the top of the ninth inning when Nats C Frank Kiffin (.208) doubled in RF Ken Mayberry (.263) for the only run of the game, eliminating the Reds from the playoffs... Ozarka won game five 1-0 and captured the TU Elite 8 Series four-games-to-one to move ahead to the Final 4 against the winner of the Luxora-Turon series... It was the second shutout of the series by 35-year-old Nawajuk (2-0 0.00), who only allowed 5 hits, struck out 3 and issued only 1 walk... 25-year-old Gaudet (0-2 2.25) was almost as good... He surrendered only 1 run on 5 hits, fanned 6 batters and walked 2 in defeat... Nawajuk also blanked Rolling Hills in game two 6-0 on 4 hits.

Typhoons Trim Zorros 6-4, Take Series Lead
At De la Vega Stadium in Luxora, Turon trimmed the Zorros 6-4 and took a 3-2 lead in the Tycobbian Elite 8 Series... The Typhoons ran up a 6-1 lead going into the bottom of the eighth and had to hold on as the Z's mounted a 3-run rally... winning pitcher Shane Farmer (1-1 2.25) stifled the Zorros on 1 run and 7 hits in his 7 innings... Farmer exited with a 5-1 lead... leading the Typhoons 11-hit attack was SS Alan Hansen (.429) with 3 hits, 2 runs scored and an RBI... CF Mac McCurnan (.313) had 2 hits and a run batted in for the winners... SS Jose Malagon (.143) topped Luxora with a double, triple and 2 RBIs... closer Merle Studebaker almost blew the games as he was rocked for 3 runs in the eighth... James Stuart relieved him and saved the day by getting the last four outs of the game... Steve Aaron (1-1 3.86) suffered the defeat... Turon smacked him for 4 runs and 7 hits in 5+ frames... the series returns to Typhoon Stadium in Turon for game 6... Game 7 will also be in Turon if necessary.
