2047 IPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - GAME 4
Ruthlandian Union
MCDANIEL CLOUT EVENS SERIES, FM 5-3 WINNER
In game four in Middlefield, Far Mountain copped its second straight victory in the Ruthlandian LCS to even it up at two games each in the best-of-seven series... the Redhawks rallied in the late innings to force overtime... Joel McDaniel crashed a two-run homer to defeat the Roosters 5-3 in 10 innings... starter Curt Steinhauer (2-1/2.56) hurled nine innings for the victory with relief help from Fernando Sanches (0-2/3.52), who got his fourth save in the playoffs by holding Middlefield scoreless in the last of the 10th... the third Rooster pitcher Ricky Farris (1-1/3.65) not only blew the save, but lost the game... he was slammed for three runs and five hits in three innings.
The Redhawks collected 12 hits and were sparked by C Joel McDaniel (.379) with 4-for-5, two runs and two RBIs... 2B Rance Hawkins (.220) also drove in two runs and registered a pair of hits... McDaniel and Hawkins both went deep... the Roosters had eight hits with roundtrippers by CF Norman Antonioni (.209) and SS Jimmy Beach (.308)... Antonioni hit a two-run salvo and Beach a solo shot.
Tycobbian Union
HOOVER HUMBLES RED SOX 2-0, SUN SOX KNOT SERIES
Under beautiful sunny skies at Pleasure Beach Park in Southport, Billy Hoover humbled the Red Bluff Red Sox 2-0 on a six-hit shutout to knot the Tycobbian LCS at two games apiece... Hoover (3-1/2.60) was in command, fanning two batters and walking none... he outpitched Jud Cox (2-2/1.11), who had beaten him in game one 5-1... Cox worked seven frames, yielding two runs on six hits.
Shoddy defense by the Red Sox gave the Sun Sox all the runs they needed in the third inning... none of the runs Cox gave up were earned... two throwing errors by right fielder David Kelso (.417) proved costly... CF Barney Lewis (.242) and C Visalis Vlachos (.244) drove in the Southport scores... the Sun Sox had 7 hits to 6 for the losers.
