2024 Ruthlandian Elite 8 Series

Rattlers Dispose Of Roosters In 7 Games
The fourth-seeded Sugar Valley Rattlers were forced to win the last two games to dispose of the sixth-seeded Middlefield Roosters in the RU Elite 8 Series... the Rattlers nudged past the powerful Roosters 5-4 in game seven to cop the series four-games-to-three... with the score knotted at 4-4 in the last of the sixth, 3B Conan O'Flaherty (.083) singled with one out, stole second and rode home on SS Jack Sanderson's (.200) RBI single to give Sugar Valley a spot in the RU Final 4 against the winner of Valmara and Waleska.

Strong bullpen work saved the Rattlers today... Fernando Vargas, Dallas Casey and Milt Baker held the Roosters to no runs and just one hit over the final three innings with Baker getting the save... starter and winner Benny McConnell (2-0 3.60) was touched for 4 runs and 6 hits in his 6 frames... Frank Dean (1-2 4.74) collected the loss, allowing 5 runs on 7 hits in 6 innings.

RF Randall Hawson (.263) topped Sugar Valley at the plate with 2 hits, including a double and a homer with 3 RBIs... Rooster 3B Stu Butterworth (.346) went deep for the 4th time in the series... CF Tom Daniels singled in 2 runs... all total Middlefield unleased 17 homers to just 6 for the winning Rattlers.

Valmara Vaults Past Waleska Into RU Final 4
Last year's Pro Cup runner-up Valmara is still in the running to redeem themselves... the Vipers clipped the Waleska Westerners 5-4 in game seven of the RU Elite 8 Series and now will move on to the Final 4 against the Sugar Valley Rattlers.

The Vipers scored the game-winner in the last of the sixth, snapping a 4-4 deadlock... 1B Radley Singleton (.190) walked and advanced to second on a groundout and to third on a bunt... RF Gerry Kazmarek (.161) plated him with a single... topping the Valmara 11-hit attack were 2B Ron Freiberg (.313) with 2 RBIs, C Pete Gibbs (.167) with a homer and CF Teddy Szymanski (.370) with 2 hits and 2 runs scored... SS Raoul Allemand (.348) paced the Westerners with a pair of hits and 3 runs.

Valmara starter Clem Carmouche (2-1 3.52) notched the win, going 8 innings, permitting 4 runs on 6 hits with 6 Ks and 4 walks... closer Chris Phillips chalked up a shaky save, his first of the playoffs... a single and a walk put the game in jeopardy with runners advancing to second and third with two away... LF Loco Dillinger (.172) grounded out to end the game and series... Chet McNeil (0-2 7.54) suffered the defeat as he was slammed for 10 hits and 5 runs over 7 innings... the Vipers had an 11-7 advantage at the plate.

After a day off, the RU and TU Final 4s will get underway this Saturday with Valmara hosting Sugar Valley and White River traveling to Tuckanarra, the current Pro Cup holder.
