2027 IPA Elite 8 Series

Ruthlandian Union

Rovers Trim Bobcats 7-6, Force 7th Game
It was a seesaw affair in game six of the RU Elite 8 Series at City Park Stadium in Beechwood, where the visiting Sligo Rovers trimmed the Bobcats 7-6... Beechwood started off on fire with 3 first-inning scores, but Sligo regained it 5-3 by the sixth... the Bobcats took the lead once again 6-5 after 8 frames, only to lose it in the top of the ninth on back-to-back doubles by Johnny Sackett and Biff Blauer that evened it up at 6-6, followed by 3B Manny Alou's RBI fielder's choice... Alou beat the throw to first on a double play attempt, getting the game-winning run in... Lou Page (2-0 2.50) got the win, but it was tough going... Page surrendered 9 hits and 6 runs in a complete game, struck out 8 and walked 2... in the ninth Dennis Moody (0-1) not only blew the save, but lost the game... Alou (.222) led the Rovers 11-hit attack with 2-4, scoring 2 runs and driving in 2... Alou and CF Darryl Collins (.286) both homered... Beechwood CF Vic Valenti (.190) hit a 3-run blast in the opening frame and 3B Skipper Smith (.348) tied the score 6-6 in the eighth with a solo roundtripper.

Tycobbian Union

Southport Ties WR, Wins 4-3 In 11 In Game 6
Playing on the road in White River, Southport made sure there would be a game seven in the TU Elite 8 Series... CF Rick Cabrini decided it with a 2-out double in the top of the eleventh that plated Sam Cousins with the winning run in a 4-3 triumph... reliever Rob Ricks (1-0) tossed 2 runless innings for the victory, with the loss going to Terry Kane (0-1), who came on in the eleventh... the Rascals outgunned the Sun Sox 13 to 10 in the game, but stranded too many runners... White River left 14 on base... Cabrini (.444) led the winners with 4-for-6, while Cousins (.316) batted in 2 runs... Rascals CF Hal Littleton (.350) went 3-for-6... White River starter Carl Dreaux did well, going 9 innings and giving up only 3 runs... Ronnie Galus started for Southport and left in the eighth with a 3-3 tie.
