2040 IPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - Game Four

RUTHLANDIAN UNION

BULLS BLISTER ROVERS 10-1 FOR 3-1 LEAD
Maybe the Ranford Bulls are better than the critics think... the Bulls blistered one of the better pitchers in the IPA 10-1 at Ranford County Stadium to take a huge three games to one lead in the Ruthlandian LCS... one more win over the Sligo Rovers and it's on to the Pro Cup Finals... it's doubtful anyone predicted this to happen... the Bulls bombarded 22-game winner Scotty Price (2-3/3.41) for seven runs in five innings, while at the same time getting an impressive start from Ralph Hawk (1-1/3.25), who shut out Sligo for seven and two-thirds innings on seven hits... Hawk walked four and whiffed nine Rovers.

2B Martin Satcher (.302) and 3B Glenn Ward (.154) sparked the Bulls 12-hit attack... Satcher popped three hits, including a two-run triple... and Ward scored twice and cleared the bases with a three-run two-bagger... 1B Denny Simmons (.375) continues to be one of the few Rovers having a good postseason... Simmons went 2-for-5 and drove in their only run.

TYCOBBIAN UNION

SUMMERLAND BREEZES BY OZARKA 4-2, NEARS TU TITLE
Summerland snapped a 2-2 tie in the top of the seventh to defeat the Ozarka Naturals 4-2... Stan Terry singled in the go-ahead run and Eamon O'Toole added an insurance run with a deep sacrifice fly to send the Sunsets up three games to one in the Tycobbian LCS... all Summerland needs is one more win to advance to the IPA Pro Cup Finals.

The Sunsets got another strong outing from their elite pitching corps... Jayson Hallstrom (2-0/3.77) went the distance, stopping the Nats on two runs and five hits... the loss went to Glen Jenkins (2-2/2.65), who was hit hard for 12 hits, but he only gave up four runs, just two of the earned.

1B Stan Terry (.200), RF Eamon O'Toole (.429) and 3B Norm Van Kieken (.462) all had two hits and an RBI for Summerland... Van Kieken had the game's only homer...it was his second of the postseason... RF Bob Banachak (.313) went 3-for-3 for Ozarka.
