Ruthlandian Union Division Championship Series - Game 2

WMACS EVEN ROOSTERS SERIES IN SHOOTOUT
Wynnamac upended favored Middlefield in game two of the RU Division Championship Series 9-6 in a shootout at Middlefleld Park... the clubs have now split the first two games... in a lackluster outing Simon Northcott (18-9/3.47) got the win, but was hit hard by the Roosters for six runs and 10 hits in seven innings... the Sundowners' offensive leaders were SS Whiz Ivie (.556), CF Dickie Key (.222) and C Jethro Bibbs (.444), all with two RBIs apiece... Key's was a two-run homer... Middlefield had many chances to get back into the fray, but stranded 13 baserunners... RF Skylar Hanson (.778) got five of the Roosters' 13 hits... losing pitcher Hollis Dale (21-10/3.97) was creamed for seven runs in just four innings.

PIZZICONI FIRES 1-HITTER, TARS UP 2-0
Taranto right-hander Armani Pizzaconi (21-13/3.10) fired a brillant one-hit shutout to send his Tars up 2-0 in the best-of-seven Ruthlandian DCS... at the Palazzo di Sport in Taranto, Pizziconi blanked the Valka Blackhawks 4-0, winding up with three strikeouts and just one walk... heading up the Tars' attack was 1B Rico Messina (.500) with a two-run triple and RF Lenny Buission (.571) with a solo home run... Adrian Stenhouse (19-10/3.29) lost it, yielding three runs in seven innings.

Tycobbian Union Division Championship Series - Game 2

TURON GOES 2 UP ON RASCALS
The Turon Typhoons trounced the White River Rascals 12-1 to win their second in a row in the Tycobbian Division Championship Series... Nate Scottsdale (24-9/2.87) was in command all the way, stopping the Rascals on just four hits, while striking out nine batters and giving up three bases on balls... Turon RF Darrell Faust (.571) had a field day with two roundtrippers and three RBIs... 2B Galen Clive (.444) also belted a home run and batted across four runs in the rout... White River starter Keil Trickett (19-13/2.86) wasn't up to par... the Typhoons punished him for eight runs in only four frames.

MIDWAY NIPS ARLON AGAIN
Great pitching and clutch hitting prevailed again for the second straight day at Joe Wolf Stadium in Midway, where the current Pro Cup holders nipped tough Arlon 3-1... Midway had to overcome some fine pitching by Arlon starter J. C. Hilburn (17-13/2.98)... he shackled them 1-0 for the first seven innings, but the Wolves pounced on him for three scores in the bottom of the eighth... singles by SS Kax Clark (.500), RF Daryl Vale (.125) and LF Norishige Ito (.429) loaded the bases for Midway... Arlon sent in its closer Matt Blair, but he couldn't put out the fire... 1B Ted Merritt (.000) knotted it up with a deep sac fly, 3B Jamey Southwick (.500) put Midway in front 2-1 with a double and 2B Tom Goodnight (.429) completed the scoring with an RBI single... the victory went to Doogie Higgins (11-4/2.58), who tossed two runless innings in the eighth and ninth... Yank Atchley (17-10/2.97) started for the Wolves and was impressive, holding the Champs to just one run and six hits over the first seven frames... Midway had the edge in hits 12 to 8... Clark had three of them... with Ito, Southwick and C Ralph Worsley (.333) getting two each... 2B Art Catlin (.250) got Arlon's only run with a solo shot in the sixth.
