Ruthlandian Union Division Championship Series - Game 1

MIDDLEFIELD MAULS WMACS IN OPENER
All across the Islands, baseball is aglow everywhere... Pro Cup fever is rampant, especially in the eight playoff cities... Middlefield, one of the favorites to win the coveted Pro Cup trophy, got started on the right food and walloped Wynnamac 9-3 in the opening game of the Ruthlandian Union Division Championship Series played at Middlefield Park... the hometown Roosters routed the Sundowners with a 13-hit attack and solid pitching by 34-year-old veteran star right-hander and 24-game winner, James Long... SS Stan Radzikowski led the way with three RBIs... and 2B Gil McCormick, RF Skylar Hanson and CF Johnny Wyatt added in two ribbies each... hurling a complete game, Long (1-0) checked Wynnamac on nine hits, whiffed six and walked nobody... 17-game winner Sammy Hayes (0-1) suffered the loss... he gave up five runs and five hits in just two innings... three of the scores were not earned.

TARS FEATHER BLACKHAWKS IN GAME 1
Three homers and fine pitching paced Taranto to a 6-2 victory over Valka in game one of the Ruthlandian Division Championship Series... LF Kuma Toyota slammed two out of the Palazzo di Sport and drove in four scores... CF Renzo Caruso chimed in with a two-run salvo... on the hill southpaw Phil Castle (13-9/2.98) took charge, tossing a complete
game, allowing only six hits with three walks and four Ks... Blackhawk starter Eerik Jogi (18-16/3.27) was ripped for six runs in six-plus innings.

Tycobbian Union Division Championship Series - Game 1

WOLVES WIN 11-INNING THRILLER
As predicted Midway and Arlon were expected to battle tooth-and-nail and that's exactly what happened in the opening game of the Tycobbian Division Championship Series... it was a classic extra-inning thriller with the reigning King of the Hill in Islandian baseball, the defending Pro Cup champion Wolves edging the Arlon Champions 2-1... a two-base throwing error by third baseman Eduardo Garaza (.945 FA) put the go-ahead run on second base... and SS Kax Clark blooped a game-winning single to right, driving in pinchhitter Kalian Bishop... starters Ty Coffee and Arnie McGill fired scoreless ball for the first seven frames... in the eighth Arlon C Riley Earnshaw sent one soaring out of Joe Wolf Stadium for a 1-0 lead, but Midway got another gift run to tie the score... Garaza committed an error putting Kax Clark on second base,.. he advanced to third on a groundout with one away and scampered in on a sacrifice fly by rookie 1B Ted Merritt... McGill (25-7/2.20) was brilliant, shutting out the Champions for seven innings on six hits... closer Jeffrey Leonard (5-4/1.89/20 saves/45 G) got the victory, tossing four fine frames, touched only by Earnshaw's roundtripper.. Coffee (27-9/2.72) stood out as well, working into the eighth and permitting only one unearned runs on six hits... reliever Mack Blair (6-2/2.92/20 saves/48 G) was the losing pitcher.

TYPHOONS BLOW OUT RASCALS IN 1ST GAME
At Typhoon Stadium in Turon, the favored Typhoons blew out White River 10-5 in the first game of the Tycobbian DCS, taking full advantage of 10 bases on balls issued by the Rascal staff... Turon was sparked by SS Bill Wolverton with three hits and three RBIs... RF Darrell Faust and 3B Joel Guidry also chimed in with a pair of RBIs... a seven-run third pretty much did the Rascals in... 24-game winner Yancey Hedges logged the win, working into the eighth frame, but he was tagged for 11 hits and five runs... closer Bobby Reimer 95-4/3.49/14 saves/34 G) got the final four outs... White River ace Nicky Palmer and 21-game winner took the loss, shelled for seven runs in less than two innings of work.
