2040 IPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - Game 6

RUTHLANDIAN UNION

ROVERS BEAT BULLS 3-0, FORCE 7TH GAME
It wasn't a thing of beauty, but Randall Steele will take it... Sligo's hard-throwing right-hander tamed Ranford 3-0 in game six of the the Ruthlandian LCS and forced a seventh and deciding game tomorrow afternoon for the right to take on the Tycobbian champ Summerland in the 2040 Pro Cup Finals.

Steele had to throw a lot of pitches... he walked six batters in seven and a third innings, but Steele (2-0/0.52) held the Bulls scoreless on five hits and he struck out six batters... that was good enough to tie the series at three games each... losing pitcher Winston Moses (1-1/1.97) did fine, just not good enough... Moses went the route and gave up only two earned runs on eight hits.

Sligo got all the runs they needed in the first frame when C Don Tucker (.250) singled in LF Rudy Putnam (.211)... Putnam's sac fly and 1B Denny Simmons' (.386) RBI base hit increased the lead to 3-0 in the second... Putnam, Simmons and SS Neil Mitchell (.216) paced the Rovers at the plate with two hits apiece... 1B Pete Bankston (.327) got three of the six hits the Bulls got.

Both clubs will have their number-one pitchers on the hill in game seven at Sligo... Scotty Price (22-9/2.78) will go for Sligo and Ralph Hawk (20-14/2.62) for Ranford... Price is 2-3 with a 3.41 ERA in five starts in the playoffs, while Hawk is 1-1 with a 3.25 ERA in four starts... they have been pitted against each other twice in the series... Price won game one 5-3, while Hawk got sweet revenge with a 10-1 thrashing in game four.
