2040 IPA DIVISION SERIES - Game Five

RUTHLANDIAN UNION

CC 'CATS STOP SLIGO 4-0 IN 11 INNINGS
In game five of the Ruthlandian Division Series at Sligo, the magnificent mound corps of Cold Creek showed its stuff by blanking the Rovers 4-0 in 11 innings for a three games to two lead... Joey Baker, George Bailey and Harvey Fullerton combined on a seven-hit shutout... Baker worked eight innings, Bailey three and Fullerton closed it out in the 11th... Bailey (1-0/0.00) notched the win... Randall Steele held Cold Creek scoreless for eight and two-thirds innings... Bill Walker (0-1/4.50) took it on the chin in the four-run 11th and took the loss.

The Catamounts socked 13 hits... Lamont Cramer broke open the game with a two-run pinch-hit homer... later on in the inning RF Wayne Kenney (.227) and 3B Pat Ellis (.105) had RBI singles.

The series returns to Cold Creek for game six tomorrow afternoon... if necessary, game seven will also be there.

CL CRUSHERS CLIP BULLS 7-2 IN 12 INNINGS
Game five of the RU Division Series between Crystal Lake and Ranford also went extra innings before the Crushers bushwhacked the Bulls 7-2... doing the damage were CF Jesse Walker (.400) with an RBI single, a sacrifice fly by LF Johnny Kennedy (.083) and a three-run blast by RF Pat Dillon (.333)... reliever Mitchell Clarkson (1-0/0.00) chalked up the win with two scoreless innings, while Miguel Mandina (0-2) was the loser, the victim of the five-run explosion... Crystal Lake is now back in business, but still trails Ranford 3-2 in the series... the rest of the games will be played at Lakefront Stadium in Crystal Lake.

Crystal Lake bagged 15 base hits... Walker had three hits, two RBIs and scored two runs for Crystal Lake... Dillon had 2 hits and 3 RBIs... and 3B Marv Roy (.333) added two hits and scored twice... Ranford popped 12 hits in defeat with 1B Maury Quave (.250) getting three of them... and 3B Pete Bankston (.333), RF Emory Rice (.273) and C Arlo Guthrie (.238) all getting a pair of hits.

TYCOBBIAN UNION

KING CONKS HAWKS 4-0, SUNSETS IN THE LEAD
Game five of the TU Division Series started badly for the Summerland Sunsets, but ended up on a bright note... starter Dutch De Boer strained a muscle warming up and had to be replaced by Billy Hill, who promptly pitched them to a 4-0 shutout over powerful North Hills and a 3-2 lead in games... Hill (1-0/0.00) fired a three-hitter against the Pro Cup favorite, struck out five and also walked five... the Sunsets backed him with three double plays... Tony Mack (1-1/3.18) suffered the defeat, going eight frames and giving up three runs on six hits... Mack totaled eight Ks and issued four bases on balls.

Summerland got only eight hits and were sparked by 3B Norm Murdock (.316) with two hits and an RBI... King (.250) drove in two runs in the seventh with a single... Mark Brenneke (.167) got the final run in with a ninth-inning single.

Summerland will try and wrap up the series at home... they just need one win in two games to advance to the Tycobbian League Championship.

DC REDBIRDS DRUB OZARKA 10-3, UP 3-2 NOW
It was nip-and-tuck for seven innings in game five of the TU Division Series with Denton City holding a slim 3-2 lead over Ozarka... then the Redbird bats went to town and put three runs on the scoreboard in the top of the eighth and added four runs more in the ninth to totally drub the Nats 10-3... the win gave Denton City the series lead at three games to two.

The Redbirds pelted four Ozarka pitchers for 17 hits... LF Sadaharu Uchiyama (.222) paced the hit parade with two hits, including a three-run homer... 1B Wayman Stetson (.286) chipped in with three hits, a run and an RBI... and SS Sammy Thornton (.316) scored three times, had two hits and batted in a run.

Ozarka only got seven hits, all off starter Francisco Salcido (2-0/1.80)... Salcido went eight innings, walked four, fanned five and gave up only two earned runs... Lenny Evans relieved him in the ninth and set the Nats down in perfect order... the losing pitcher was Stan Carey, who kept the Redbirds in check... he left trailing 3-1 after six frames... Carey (0-2/1.93) permitted nine hits, but only one earned run.

The sixth game will be in Denton City tomorrow... and, if needed, Douglas Denton Field will be the site of the decisive finale.
