2038 IPA FINAL 4 SERIES

Ruthlandian Union

REDHAWKS BLANK BLASTERS AGAIN, LEAD 3-1
Great pitching has put dark horse Far Mountain in the driver's seat in the Ruthlandian championship series... for the second day in a row the Redhawks whitewashed the hard-hitting Colfax Blasters... Chad Cummings and Paul Young teamed up to shut them out 2-0 in game four to give Far Mountain a three games to one advantage in the best-of-seven series... one more Redhawk triumph and it's on to the IPA Pro Cup Finals.

Cummings (1-1/1.06) tossed 8 impressive innings, fanned 2 and walked one, while giving up 6 base hits, all singles... Young got the save when he set down the Blasters in order in the ninth... Colfax starter Ray Maxon stood out, too, with a complete game... he limited the Redhawks to just 2 runs on 8 hits with 3 walks and 5 Ks... the high-potent Blasters' offense has only scored 4 runs in the 4 games so far and has been shut out in back-to-back games.

In the second frame singles by 1B John Burrell (.216) and Wes Wernstedt (.268) put runners on the corners with one out... the Redhawks took a 1-0 lead when C Lou Ranson (.237) hit into a fielder's choice... Ranson finished the scoring for the day with a solo homer in the fifth frame... Wernstedt had a perfect day at the plate with 4 hits in 4 at-bats... Colfax was led by SS Gerry Sives (.323) with 2 hits.

Tycobbian Union

HAWKS TIE SERIES 2-2, TOPS LYNX 5-3
In game four at Capitol Park Stadium in La Claire, the North Hills Hawks combined good pitching, good hitting and good defense to top the Lynx 5-3 and tie the Tycobbian title series at two games apiece... Tony Mack (1-0/3.00) was on top of his game as he went the distance, struck out 6, walked 3 and gave up 3 runs and 9 hits... Gerry Rice's 2-run clout in the top of the seventh snapped a 2-2 deadlock.

RF Rice (.257) led the Hawks' 11-hit attack with 2 RBIs and 2 runs... LF Adam Thurgood (.189) also had a 2-run roundtripper, his 4th in the playoffs... and 3B Jim McDermott (.361) went 3-for-5 with 2 singles and a triple... the Lynx collected 9 hits and were paced by C Biggie Mondale (.714) with 3-4 and an RBI... 1B Stan Hynoski (.361) had a home run for La Claire, his second in the postseason... and RF Billy Holland (.344) and 2B Sam Norman (.333) socked 2 hits each.

Righthander Tony Rossi (1-1/3.29) took the loss, permitting 3 runs - but only one earned - and 7 hits in 6.1 innings... Rossi whiffed 6 and isssued 3 bases on balls... he was trailing 3-2 when he departed in the seventh.
