DAILY DOWN-TO-THE-WIRE RECAPS
Monday, September 10, 2057
Ruthlandian West Division

In a head-to-head clash between the two top contenders for the RU West pennant, first place Fort Benton (83-65) upped their lead to 2 games on the second place Middlefield Roosters (81-67), last year's IPA Pro Cup champion... the Defenders got a stellar mound job out of little-used Ruben Betros, who tossed eight impressive innings, stopping the Roosters on just four hits... it was a remarkable win... Betros was as wild as the wind... he issued 8 walks in the game... but the heavy-hitting Roosters couldn't put him away... Steven Hornblower sparked the 12-hit attack with two roundtrippers and three RBIs... this was the finale of a three-game series... Fort Benton took two of them... they took the first one 9-0 as Gene Hicks (16-16/3.90) fired a four-hitter... and lost game two 2-0 to Scott Cole (16-14/4.07), who outpitched Billy Ellis (7-11/4.48)... Middlefield has won the RU West for the last eight years... Fort Benton is an unlikely foe for the Roosters... they are a perennial division doormat with only one postseason appearance in the team's history (2037)... they finished fourth last year and were picked no better than fifth place this year... but lo and behold, look where they are... the big question is... will they hold off the mighty Roosters?
