2047 IPA LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - GAME 5

Ruthlandian Union

WHEELHOUSE BLANKS REDHAWKS, ROOSTERS WIN 3-0
Middlefield's super southpaw Larry Wheelhouse continued to dominate in the playoffs... he fired a three-hit shutout against the Far Mountain Redhawks in game five of the Ruthlandian League Championship Series, putting his Roosters up three games to two and within one victory of moving to the Pro Cup Finals... Wheelhouse (2-0/1.09) walked seven and struck out five... he has given the Roosters four strong starts in the postseason... RF Sidney Conner (.321) and SS Jimmy Beach (.304) provided the offense each with a solo homer... it was Conner's third in the playoffs and Beach's fourth... Josh Glover (2-1/2.12) pitched well in defeat, allowing three runs on eight hits with six Ks and one walk... he also went the route.

The series will now revert to Far Mountain for the final two games, if they are needed... Middlefield has won five of six in this postseason while playing out of town... Far Mountain is just 2-3 at home.

Tycobbian Union

SUN SOX POUND RED SOX 10-6 FOR SERIES LEAD
Known more for their mound work that their hitting prowess, Southport showed their muscles with a 10-6 shelling of the Red Bluff Red Sox in game five of the Tycobbian LCS at Pleasure Beach Park... the Sun Sox pounded them for 15 hits and took a three games to two edge in the series... all Southport needs is one win in the next two games to advance to the Pro Cup Finals... Red Bluff has the homefield advantage and the remaining games will be played at Red Bluff Park... the Red Sox are 3-2 at home in the playoffs, while the Sun Sox are 3-2 on the road.

The Sun Sox led 4-3 after five innings, then jolted the Red Sox for six more runs in the sixth... but they had to withstand a mild rally by Red Bluff, who got three runs in the ninth... Johnny Swanson (2-0/3.34) struggled late, but got the win... he went eight and one-third innings, gave up six runs on 10 hits with four strikeouts and four walks... closer Hal Combs (2-0/0.00) picked up his first save in the playoffs when he retired the last two batters in the game... Red Sox starter Mickey Rosen (2-1/5.20) was hit hard for seven runs and eight hits in just five frames... Rosen also was very wild with eight bases on balls.

C Visalis Vlachos (.273) delivered two hits and drove in three runs for Southport... he got the game's only homer... CF Barney Lewis (.289) and 2B Ricky Whitaker (.325) both had three hits... Lewis doubled twice and batted in three runs... everybody in the Sun Sox lineup got at least one hit... even pitcher Johnny Swanson (.133) got into the act with two runs batted in... RF Dennis Desmond (.444) paced Red Bluff with two hits and three RBIs and SS Leemon O'Donovan (.327) batted in a pair of scores.
