2047 IPA DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - GAME 3

Ruthlandian Union

MARSTON MAULS MIDDLEFIELD 8-2, UP 2-1 IN SERIES
Game three of the Ruthlandian Division Series went to the Marston Nine, who mauled Middlefield on the Roosters' home field 8-2 by smashing three roundtrippers and getting a standout mound performance from Kelly Long... the win gave the Nine a two to one edge in the best-of-seven series.

Long (1-0), the number three starter, went all the way, holding the hard-hitting Roosters to just two runs on five hits... Gary Armitage (.167) hammered a two-run homer in the first frame, Stan Mila (.400) added a solo shot in the fourth and Stan Davis (.625) went deep in the fifth... the Nine racked up 12 hits, led by Mila and Davis with three each.

Carroll Collier (0-1) was the loser... Marston ripped him for six runs and eight hits in just three innings... Collier was behind 6-0 when he went to the showers.

SUNBIRDS' ROY STOPS REDHAWKS 6-3 FOR SERIES LEAD
Ronnie Roy stepped it up a notch in his first ever postseason appearance... the chubby Belair Beach right-hander checked Far Mountain on five hits in a 6-3 victory to give the Sunbirds a two games to one edge in the series... Roy walked three and fanned four for the upset-minded Sunbirds, who have been given little chance to beat the Redhawks, who paced the IPA with 101 wins this season... starter Stan Smith (0-1) was the loser... he was battered for six runs and 11 hits and exited in the fifth inning.

Sparking the Belair Beach 13-hit attack were 1B Jason Butler (.385) with three hits, two runs and two RBIs, C Robbie Coleman (.300) with two hits, two RBIs and a run scored, and LF Andy Williams (.333/ with a pair of hits and two RBIs... Far Mountain only got five hits... led by 2B Rodger Hawkins (.154) and C Joel McDaniel (.250), each with one run driven in.

Tycobbian Union

HELLCATS YOUNGER STOPS SUN SOX 3-1
Defending IPA Pro Cup champion Hartsdale had their backs to the wall going into game three of the Tycobbian Division Series... the Hellcats had lost the first two games and were badly in need of a victory... they got it from Gil Younger, who rose to the occasion and stopped Southport 3-1, cutting their lead to two games to one.

Younger has been much maligned this year... after winning 28 games and the Tycobbian MVP trophy last season, Younger slipped to 16-18 this year... but today he was his old self, stopping the Sun Sox on one run and seven hits in eight and two-thirds innings... Younger (1-0) struck out nine and walked five for the win... Alfonso Cervera came in and got the last out for Younger... losing pitcher Brandon Delmore (0-1) worked a good game and went the distance for Southport, yielding only three runs and six hits with six Ks and two bases on balls.

Hartsdale got all of their runs in the first inning on RF Emilian Burgess' (.385) two-run single and an RBI groundout by 3B Greg Melton (.167)... 1B Eddie Douglas (.333) homered in the top of the sixth for Southport's only score... the Sun Sox had the advantage in hits 7 to 6.

WILDCATS WIN A WILD ONE 10-6, TAKE LEAD
The Red Bluff Red Sox were well on their way to winning game three of the Tycobbian Division Series with a 6-2 lead going into the last of the seventh, but then the Kenwood Wildcats tied it up 6-6 with a four-run rally and then crushed the Red Sox 10-6 with four more in the bottom of the eighth to win going away... now it's the Wildcats in the driver's seat with a two games to one edge... in the slugfest Kenwood collected 13 hits and Red Bluff got 12.

The big blow of the game was a three-run triple struck by 2B Country Crowder (.143) in the eighth that put Kenwood ahead 9-6... RF Dorsey Faircloth (.500) paced Kenwood with three hits and two RBIs and C Jesse Daniels (.273) got two hits, scored twice and batted in a run... SS Leemond O'Donovan (.286) scored three times and popped three hits for the Sun Sox... and 3B Fran Blanchard (.273) cracked three hits, too, and drove in run... 1B Josh Stevens (.231) chipped in with two runs batted in.

Not a heck of a lot of pitching in the game... Mike Jones, the second of three Wildcat hurlers, picked up the victory... Jones (1-0) worked a scoreless eighth... and Milt Cochrane cinched it with a runless ninth... reliever Sonny Wheat (0-1) went down to defeat... he took over in the eighth with the score tied at 6-all and was pelted painfully by the Wildcats.
