2046 IPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - Game 4

Ruthlandian Union

SNAPPERS SNEAK BY VIPERS 2-1, TAYLOR EVENS SERIES
Two of the best twirlers in the IPA went at in game four of the Ruthlandian League Championship Series and it was something to behold... Jamie Taylor, 30-game winner for Rocky Rapids, just barely got the best of Valmara's 24-game winner Primo Sirak to even up the best-of-seven series at two games each... Both of them hurled complete games... in a sharp performance Taylor (3-1/1.85) checked the Vipers on one unearned run and five hits, struck out five and walked three... while Sirak (3-1/1.06) caught his first loss of the postseason, but was a tough competitor, allowing only one earned run and nine hits... Sirak walked four and fanned four.

Valmara got a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth... LF Jacek Prusak (.303) led off the inning with a single, then left fielder Buddy Hamilton mishandled 1B Cain Greene's (.324) base hit and the runners went to second and third respectively... 3B Jose Vargas (.400) grounded out to third base and plated the first run of the game... in the bottom of the sixth the Snappers took charge with two runs... with one away LF Buddy Hamilton (.231) and 2B Marty Featherstone (.310) singled back-to-back and C Carney Kirkpatrick (.379) walked to fill the bases... RF Jose Ramos (.333) hit into a force at second to knot it up at 1-1... then shortstop Antos Dacko botched 1B Masaharu Kawasaki's (.161) groundball for the eventual winning score... Hamilton led the Snappers with two hits and Greene got two for the Vipers... there were no extra-base hits in the game.

Tycobbian Union

COX KEEPS RED BLUFF ALIVE, STOPS HARTSDALE 4-2
Red Bluff needed a big game from Jud Cox in game four of the Tycobbian LCS at Red Bluff Park and got it... Cox kept the Red Sox from being swept by the Hartsdale Hellcats with a 4-2 triumph to keep them alive in the series... the Hellcats won the first three games... Cox (2-1/1.82) struck out seven, walked just one, gave up nine hits, but only two runs... he left for a pinchhitter in the eighth with reliever George Reynolds pitching a 1-2-3 ninth for the save... the losing pitcher was Gil Younger (2-2/3.77), who was tagged for four runs on nine hits and had five walks and five Ks.

Younger was looking good through five frames with a 2-1 lead, but the Red Sox stuck him for single runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth to cop the win... LF David Kelso (.347) banged his sixth postseason homer for the game-winner in the seventh... 2B Big Boy Payne (.217) finally snapped out of his playoff funk with three hits and three runs... Jud Cox (.429) drove in two runs for the Red Sox... topping the Hellcats at the plate were CF Darrell Nesbitt (.261) with three hits in four tries and C Frank Penn (.297) with two hits.
