Ruthlandian Union Elite 8 Series
(best-of-seven)

Sundowners Stop Sligo 3-1 In Opener
In the opening game of the Ruthlandian Elite 8 Series at Sligo, Wynnamac got magnificent pitching from Lon Marshall and Jim Horton, who stopped the hometown Rovers and defender Pro Cup champs 3-1 in 10 innings... 1B Pete Simmons' two-out double plated CF Ian Holmes with the go-ahead run in the top of the tenth... 2B Liam Cadbury followed with another double to score Simmons... Marshall (1-0) worked 9 innings, holding the hard-hitting Rovers to just 5 hits... Marshall fanned 8 and walked two for the win... closer Jim Horton registered the save with a scoreless bottom of the tenth... loser Les Patterson was also outstanding... he went all 10 innings with 10 strikeouts and a walk... the Sundowners got 10 hits off Patterson... Sligo got only 6 hits... CF Chris Michel had the game's only homer... he tied the game at 1-1 in the eighth to send it to overtime... game two will also take place at Silver Mountain Park in Sligo.

Welch Tosses 2-Hitter, Crushers Beat Ancona 3-0
The Crystal Lake Crushers are off-and-running in the RU Elite 8 Series... Duncan Welch (1-0) hurled a brilliant 2-hit shutout in the 3-0 triumph over the Ancona Red Elephants at Lakefront Park in Crystal Lake... Welch had 7 Ks and 4 walks... it was a scoreless duel until the last of the seventh between Welch and Clete Dukas, the 40-year-old Ancona ace... Crystal Lake tallied 3 unearned runs to beat Dukas... the winning run scored on an error by SS Yanni Kouris, who misplayed a grounder... two batters later 2B Tommy Gompers doubled in two more runs... Dukas (0-1) deserved better... he went the route and gave up 6 hits and no earned runs.

Tycobbian Union Elite 8 Series
(best-of-seven)

Torres Tremendous, 2-Hits Suns 8-0
On the road at Capet Stadium in Arroyo Grande, Luxora shocked the Suns 8-0 in the first game of the Tycobbian Elite 8 on Tiago Torres' splendid 2-hitter... the Z's zapped out 13 hits to totally demolish the Suns... C Jim Thorpe Chandler and 3B Robby Christianson each drilled 3 hits, while Chandler and LF Jon Stafford drove in 2 runs apiece... losing pitcher Sixto Zamora (0-1) was battered for 6 runs in 6+ innings... Luxora busted it open with 3 in the fourth inning and 2 more in the sixth.

Reds Top Wolves 6-3 In Game 1
At beautiful and picturesque Midtown Base Ball Grounds in Rolling Hills, the Reds topped the Midway Wolves 6-3 in game one of the TU Elite 8 Series... a 2-run homer by 1B Mickey Greene put the Reds in front 6-2 in the fifth and starter Errol Gaudet (1-0) made it stand up for the victory... Gaudet yielded 3 runs and 7 hits with 5 strikeouts and no walks in his 8 innings... closer Alfonso Gonzales worked a runless ninth for the save... Rolling Hills only got 5 hits, but they were enough... Wolves starter Dakota Dyami (0-1) suffered the defeat, surrendering all 5 hits and 6 runs in his 4 innings... in a terrible outing Dyami walked 6, while striking out 4.
