WMACS RAP ROOSTERS, STILL DOWN 3-2
The Wynnamac Sundowners are back in the hunt after rapping Middlefield 7-5 in game five... they whipped Pro Cup favorite Middlefield for the second day in a row and cut their lead in the Ruthlandian Division Championship Series to three games to two... The Sundowners SS Jonathan Garrett (.300/2 RBI) busted up a 5-5 tie in the 7th with a two-run hit... LF Scott Clevenger (.667) led their 12-hit attack with four hits and two runs scored... 1B Enos Benham (.375) also drove in a pair of runs... Middlefield 1B Natty Colclough (.529) had three hits in defeat.... reliever Johnny Mitchell (5-6/3.31/11 saves/52 G) registered the win with two scoreless innings... the series will now switch back to Middlefield Park for the last two games... all the Roosters need is one more victory to move on to the Ruthlandian title series.

TARS TRIM WESTERNERS IN GAME 5, UP 3-2
Taranto got another strong start from rookie Phil Castle, who hurled them past Waleska 4-2 in the fifth game of the Ruthlandian DCS at Westerner Field... the favored Tars are now up by a 3-2 margin in the series and just need one more victory to advance to the next round, the Ruthlandian Finals... Castle (2-0/0.54) didn't permit an earned run, allowed only four hits in seven and two-third innings... Louie Toscano (10-1/0.70/8 saves/33 G) relieved and shut the door on Waleska the last inning and a third... Vince Gibson (0-2/2.40) lost for the second time in the series, giving up four runs - two earned - on six hits... four runs in the second did him in... C Niccolo Parisi (.333) doubled in a run, RF Cody Losby (.214) ground out to second for run number two, 2B Rico Messina (.375) singled in a run and pitcher Castle (.333) got the last one in with an RBI single... the Westerners could muster only five hits, while the Tars got 8.

RED CAPS ROLL TO TYCOBBIAN FINALS
Playing at home at Winchester Park, the Oxford Red Caps roared past Turon 11-6 in game five of the Tycobbian Division Championship Series and advanced to the Tycobbian title series... in a mild upset Oxford copped four of the five games... the Red Caps clubbed 13 hits and four homers, paced by C Giles Gilliam (.267/7 RBI) with two roundtrippers and five RBIs... a pretty good day's output for a number eight hitter... RF Wade McGrew (.238/3 RBI) and LF Ozzy Ackerman (.316/5 RBI) both hammered two-run homers for Oxford... Turon got 14 hits, but lacked home-run power... the Typhoons didn't have a single roundtripper in the five-game series, while the Red Caps hit 10.

Oxford skipper Dennis Hartwig said he knew his club could hit, but it was surprising that they handled Turon pitching so well... especially in the last two games... Turon manager C. C. Kingsford told the reporters that he couldn't believe how bad his pitchers performed... "We couldn't keep the ball in the ballpark."

Oxford will now take on the winner of the East Point-Kenwood series for the Tycobbian Union championship.

KENWOOD STOPS PANTHERS, STILL BEHIND 3-2
Two 36-year-old "old pros" saved the day for the Kenwood Wildcats... Corky Di Nozzo and Country Crowder teamed up to top powerful East Point 5-3 in game five of the Tycobbian DCS, forcing a game six... the much-favored Panthers are still in the driver's seat with a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series... with the game tied 3-3 in the 8th Di Nozzo (.273) doubled to start the inning and Crowder (.273/4 RBI) singled him in for the game-deciding run... RF Micah Yarbrough (.348/5 RBI) tacked on an extra run for good measure with an RBI single... reliever Emmitt Oates (1-1/0.00/2 G) came to the rescue of starter Tony Myerson (19-11/3.12) with three shutout innings... 21-game winner Ralph Wallace (1-1/2.65) went the route and logged the loss... he gave up five runs on eight hits, while fanning five batters and walking two... Kenwood 3B Bailey Brumley (.250/2 RBI) hit a solo homer in the 5th and CF Sean Gammon (.318/3 RBI) drove in two runs... East Point 1B Alvaro Cavacos (.300/3 RBI) had a single and a homer, scored twice and drove in a pair... C Kenny Bailey (.421/6 RBI) got three hits and batted in a run... the best-of-seven series now returns to East Point to decide the winner.
