2029 IPA Elite 8 Series

Ruthlandian Union

SV's McConnell Hurls 2- Hitter, Rattlers Up 2-0
In game two of the Ruthlandian Elite 8 at Sugar Valley, Rattler right-hander Benny McConnell hurled a brilliant 2-hit shutout to stop Stoner 4-0... it was Sugar Valley's second win in a row in the best-of-seven series... McConnell only gave us a single in the first and another single in the sixth... McConnell (1-0) walked 3 and fanned 5 in a sharp performance... the Rattlers only got 7 hits themselves... they scored on CF Al Daniels' (.500) solo homer in the third... C Silvio Salas (.429) doubled in the second run in the fifth... and in the sixth 2B Fran Dixon (.444) tripled in run number three and Jan Kissinger (.125) plated the final score with a single... Raul Hidalgo (0-1) also went the distance in defeat... he surrendered 4 runs on 7 hits with 6 strikeouts and no walks.

The Stars will try to get back into the series at home... the series now switches to Stoner for games three and four, and five, if necessary.

Crushers Even Series, Top Vipers 6-5 in Game 2
It's all even after the first two games of the RU Elite 8 Series between Crystal Lake and Valmara... the Crushers won 6-5 behind a complete game by T. D. Burnham, two 2-run homers by C Tommy Trent (.143) and SS Timmy Robinson (.143) and 4 double plays... Burnham (1-0) won ugly, giving up 11 hits to the Vipers... he struck out 5 and issued 3 bases on balls... LF Rich Ray (.500) singled with the bases loaded in the seventh to send the Crushers up by a 6-3 margin... Valmara made it close with 2 runs in the eighth... RF Gerry Kazmarek (.556) led the Vipers with 2 doubles and a single, driving in 3 runs... C Floyd Randolph (.222) had 2 hits, including a home run... Randolph had 2 runs batted in... starter Chris Phillips (0-1) suffered the loss... he allowed 4 runs and 5 hits in 6 innings... Phillips left trailing 4-3.

Games three, four and five will be played at War Memorial Stadium in Valmara, beginning tomorrow afternoon.

Reds Knot Series, Brown Beats Blue Jays 6-3
The Rolling Hills Reds won game two on the road to knot the Tycobbian Elite 8 Series at a game apiece... Johnny Brown (1-0) sparkled on the mound as he held Tuckanarra to 6 hits and 3 runs... Brown whiffed 6 and walked a pair and tossed a complete game... the Reds smacked 15 hits with C Tony Brinkerhoff (.875) leading the way with 4 hits and 3 RBIs... Brinkerhoff is 7-8 so far in the series... LF Pat Webb (.333) chipped in with 2 hits and 2 RBIs... Webb had a solo homer in the ninth...
