2027 IPA Final 4 Series

Ruthlandian Union

Burnham Brilliant, CL Nips Bobcats Arby 1-0
Ken Arby, who will probably win the RU Golden Arm Award this year, and T. D. Burnham, a 21-game winner, locked up in a spectacular pitching duel in game four of the Ruthlandian Final 4 Series... Burnham was brilliant and beat Arby again... this time it was 1-0 and gave the upstart Crystal Lake Crushers a gigantic three games to one edge in the series over Beechwood... Burnham (4-0 1.54) tossed 8 shutout innings, limiting the Bobcats to 4 hits, striking out 8 and walking 6... Keith Hunter notched his second postseason save by pitching a 1-2-3 ninth... Arby (2-3 2.54) was great, too... he held the Crushers to 5 hits and blanked them for 7 innings... Crystal Lake got the game's only score when SS Jimmy Conroy (.267) singled in the bottom of the eighth and was driven in by LF Glenn Winters' (.310) game-winning triple.

Tycobbian Union

Reds Rip Sun Sox 7-1 in Game 4, Series Even
Rolling Hills ripped Southport on the road 7-1 to even the Tycobbian Final 4 at two games apiece... the Reds smashed 15 hits to back up Errol Gaudet's sharp pitching... Gaudet (4-0 1.29) went the route, fanned 2, walked one and permitted 7 hits and just one run... Rolling Hills jumped on losing pitcher Al Laclair (1-3 4.17) from the git-go, pouncing on him for 4 runs in the first inning and 5 runs and 10 hits in his 3 innings... 2B Jeff Booker (.379) led the Reds with a 3-run triple among his 2 hits, LF Pat Webb (.344) had 2 hits, including a homer, and scored twice... 1B Billy Christianson (.240) also had 2 hits and scored twice.
