2029 IPA Elite 8 Series

Ruthlandian Union

Relievers Stand Out In Stoner 6-5 Victory
Manager Benny Stern got strong bullpen work and that's just what the doctor ordered for the Stoner Stars, who finally won a game in the Ruthlandian Elite 8 Series with the Sugar Valley Rattlers... the Stars salvaged game three 6-5 as three relievers came to the rescue with 4 scoreless innings... the Rattlers ran up a 5-2 lead after 5 frames and looked like they were headed for a third straight win, but they couldn't dent the scoreboard again... Lou Neuman, Ben Murphy and Jody Younger nailed down the victory... Younger (1-0) worked the ninth for the win... Stoner snapped a 5-5 tie in the last of the ninth when LF Kevin Fisher (.545) led off the inning with a double, moved to third on a groundout and scored on a game-winning single by 1B Fletch Fowler (.385).

The Stars collected 13 hits, led by Fisher with 3-4 and 2 runs scored... five other Stars had 2 hits apiece... SS Benny Webster (.200) topped the team with 3 RBIs... RF Lindsay Deal (.417) had a great game in defeat as he hammered 2 homers and batted in all 5 Rattler runs... closer Dallas Casey (1-1) took the mound in the ninth and took the loss... none of the starters were effective... Sugar Valley's Aron Libertini was shelled for 5 runs and 11 hits in 8 innings and Stoner's Travis Wallace was treated roughly as he permitted 5 runs and 5 hits in 5 innings.

Game 3 To Crushers, Go Up 2-1 In Series
13-year veteran Duncan Welch put the Crystal Lake Crushers ahead with a 6-3 triumph over the Valmara Vipers at War Memorial Stadium... that gave the Crushers a two games to one advantage in the RU Elite 8 Series... Welch (1-0), the 35-year-old portsider, fanned 10 in a standout performance, walked just 2 and limited the Vipers to just 6 hits and 3 runs... Welch is now 17-4 in the postseason in his career... RF Sterling Hall (.385) led the Crushers at the plate with 3-for-5 and 2 RBIs... Crystal Lake led 4-0 after 4 innings and 6-1 after 5 and a half innings... Valmara rallied for 2 runs in the last of the sixth to complete the scoring... Teddy Lem (0-1) caught the loss in a bad outing... Lem was slammed for 8 hits and 6 runs in his 5-plus frames.

Tycobbian Union

Ninjas Halt Hellcats 6-4, Near Sweep
Visiting Ginza moved closer to sweeping the Tycobbian Elite 8 Series from Hartsdale with comeback 6-4 victory at Pioneer Park... it was the Ninjas third consecutive win in the best-of-seven series... Trailing by 3-0 after 4 innings, Ginza erupted for 2 in the fifth and 3 more in the sixth to knock off the Hellcats... SS Russ Van Kleek (.636) sparked the Ninjas 11-hit barrage with 4 hits in 5 at-bats... Van Kleek had 2 doubles and scored 3 times... 1B Johnny O'Rorke (.100) scored 2 runs and hit a solo homer... and 3B Taro Mori (.273) drove in a pair of runs... Hartsdale rapped out 12 hits, but left 11 runners on base... CF Fred Wasikowski (.583) led Hartsdale with 4 hits and SS Lynn Lundy (.167) had 2 hits and scored twice.

Ryuji Kaneko (1-0) notched the win for the Ninjas though he departed early after permitting 3 runs and 8 hits in his 5 frames - however only one was earned... relievers Bud Van Buren and Fred Beard held Hartsdale to only one run over the final 4 frames with Beard getting the save... the loss went to Hellcats starter Hank Cooke (0-1), who was blistered for 5 runs and 7 hits in 6 innings... Cooke went to the showers behind 5-3.

Hollis Pace (21-10), the first-game winner, will try to close out the series tomorrow afternoon, opposed by first-game loser Les Chylak (22-11)... Pace beat him 6-1 in the opening game.

Tucks Hold Off Reds 5-3, Take 2-1 Lead
Tuckanarra took a 5-0 lead over Rolling Hills in the first 4 frames, then held on for a 5-3 win and a 2-1 lead in the TU Elite 8 Series... left-hander Quinn Starr survived a 3-run fourth for the victory... he shut the Reds down without a run over the last 5 innings... overall the crafty Starr (1-0) gave up only 6 hits and didn't give up an earned run... the Blue Jays peppered the Reds for 8 hits with RF Dunstan Lane (.625) collecting 3 hits, including 2 doubles, and batting in 2 runs... 2B Eddie Darby (.231) and LF Ted Sabonis (.333) added 2 hits and 2 runs each... SS Jeff Booker (.417) led the way for the Reds with a single and a triple and 2 runs driven in... starter Buck Myers was hung with the defeat... Myers (0-1) worked 4 innings and surrendered 5 runs and 7 hits.
