2050 IPA DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - Game 3

Ruthlandian Union

RATTLERS SLOW DOWN ROOSTERS IN GAME 3
In the Ruthlandian Division Championship Series the Middlefield Roosters have proven to be a formidable foe for Sugar Valley... they whipped the favored Rattlers in the first two games and were headed for a third straight win with a 4-0 lead going into the top of the eight at home at Farmers Memorial Park when Sugar Valley struck for two home runs and came back to win 6-5, thus avoiding an almost always fatal 3-0 deficit... Allan Hood slugged a three-run blast to tie the score at 4-4 in the top of the eighth and Smokey Nix hit the game-winner, a two-run shot in the ninth... game three was a "must" win for the Rattlers.

The victory went to Cullen Winslow (1-0/4.50) in relief of starter Antonio Cedeno (0-0/5.14), who went the first seven innings, surrendering four runs and eight hits... Cedeno was behind 4-0 when he left the game... Winslow picked up the win despite being tagged for a one-run clout in the last of the ninth that cut the Sugar Valley lead to one run... Hollis Dale (0-1/6.00) was the losing pitcher in a poor outing... he gave up six runs on seven hits.

LF Allan Hood (.091) and 3B Smokey Nix (.182) had the big hits in the game for Sugar Valley, driving in five of the runs... C Yoshino Okada (.000) batted in the other Rattler score with a sacrifice fly... RF Timothy Hayworth (.385) socked three hits to lead the Roosters... one of them a three-run roundtripper in the fifth... 1B Cliff Patterson (.273) collected two hits and drove in a run... pinchhitter Kasey McLeod accounted for the last run with a solo homer in the ninth.

VALMARA NEARS SWEEP, BOMB STJ 11-6
Playing like a team intent of repeating as IPA champion, Valmara bombed St. John 11-6 in game three of the Ruthlandian DCS at Cathedral Stadium... with their third win in a row, the Vipers have a shot at a four-game sweep and can wrap up the best-of-seven series tomorrow... Don Ritchie, Karol Koska and Jorge Aparicio were the leaders of the 15-hit barrage that subdued the Crusaders.

CF Ritchie (.462) had a perfect 4-for-4 day at the plate and drove in four runs... C Koska (.308) got his second homer of the series and batted in three runs... 2B Aparicio went 3-for-5 and scored two runs... and LF Tomek Abramczyk (.667) cracked two hits, scored twice and drove in a run in the rout... St. John smacked 11 hits and were paced by CF James Ray Winwood (.286) and SS Bubba Ralston (.357) with three hits apiece... Winwood had a two-run homer and batted in three runs.

Valmara starter Darek Polaski (1-0/3.38) had a very rocky beginning as he was shelled for five runs in the first four frames, but then he settled down and held St. John to one run in the next four innings... Polaski got the victory, but he was blistered for six runs and 11 hits in his eight innings... Kasio Bajek finished up with a runless ninth... Crusader starter Jimmy Chambers (0-1) was pounded severely for eight runs and 11 hits in just two-plus innings and caught the loss... he was down 8-4 when he went to the showers in the five-run third frame.

Tycobbian Union

3 HRS POWER RASCALS TO 6-4 WIN OVER SUN SOX
On the road at Pleasure Beach Park, visiting White River used three home runs to take the lead in the Tycobbian Division Championship Series with a 6-4 victory over the Southport Sun Sox... Ryne Hyland's two-run blast and two solo jobs by Billy Joe Hickman and Pudge Tate helped build up a 6-0 lead and gave the Rascals a two games to one lead in the best-of-seven series.

Winning pitcher Keil Trickett (1-0/5.14) in a spotty outing managed to hold off the Sun Sox with the help of closer Todd Cole... Trickett worked seven innings, permitted four runs on five hits, while fanning eight batters and walking two... Cole notched the save with two scoreless frames to close out the win... Tom Chambers (0-1) took the loss... he was slammed hard for six runs and 11 hits in seven frames.

White River racked up 14 hits with 3B Kenny Yarbrough (.500) leading the way with three hits and two runs scored... SS Kunta Burton (.500), RF Ryne Hyland (.364) and CF Pudge Tate stroked two hits each... Burton and Hyland had 2 RBIs apiece and Tate one... Southport got only seven hits... CF Ross Good (.125) and 3B Ricky Whitaker (.333) topped the Sun Sox each with two runs batted in.

PANTHERS NIP BUCS 5-4, TAKE SERIES LEAD 2-1
A fifth-inning explosion at Armed Forces Park carried the East Point Panthers past Bay St. Clair 5-4 and gave them a two to one lead in the Tycobbian Division Championship Series... in the fifth inning a three-run homer by Kenny Bailey and a solo clout by Jake O'Grady powered the Panthers past the Buccaneers... Joey Hilton was just good enough to win... Hilton (1-0/4.00) allowed four runs on eight hits, but went the distance... East Point roughed up loser Jerry MacIntyre (0-1/6.43) pretty badly for five runs and 10 hits in seven innings... the four-run fifth frame did him in.

East Point outhit Bay St. Clair 10 to 8 with LF Pokie Ash (.333) sparking the Panthers with three hits... 2B Major Woods (.286) and 1B Alvara Cavacos (.333) each added a pair of hits... but it was Bailey (.214) and O'Grady's (.143) homers that did the most damage... the best at the plate for the Bucs were 1B Clive Caviness (.231) and C Hersh Cranmore (.167) with homers... it was Caviness' second of the series.
