DAILY DOWN-THE-STRETCH DIVISION RECAPS

Ruthlandian East Division and Ruthlandian West Division


ELNORA, OXFORD CINCH DIVISION FLAGS
We are getting down to the nitty-gritty in the pennant races in the Islandian Pro Alliance... the Elnora All-Stars and Oxford Red Caps are the latest additions to the Pro Cup playoffs... they joined Valmara and Turon as the lastest division champions... four races have been decided with four more to go... the RU South and West are still up in the air in the Ruthlandian Union... over in the Tycobbian Union no winner has been decided in the TU East and TU West... it looks like it could go down to the last few games of the season... they are 5 games left on the schedule.

CRUSADERS FALLS TO TARS, STILL 2 UP IN RU SOUTH
The St. John Crusaders (84-65) and the Crystal Lake Skippers (82-67) are nip-and-tuck in the Ruthlandian South... the Crusaders are up by two games with five games to go... both of the contenders lost yesterday... St. John took it on the chin from the Taranto Tars 9-1... Valerio Rossi (16-15/2.70) was in grand form and put the Crusaders away in easy fashion and the Tars got 15 hits and a couple of longballs from Lenny Buisson (.301/47 HR/100 RBI) and rookie 1B Buddy Lark (.315/28 HR/67 RBI)... Teddy Howell (14-11/3.34) took the battering, lasting just three innings... fortunately for the Crusaders, Crystal Lake also lost and didn't gain any ground.

St. John has a tough row to hoe... two more games against Taranto (76-73)... then they close out the year with three games with the Wynnamac Sundowners(79-70)… both are solid clubs.
