2020 IPA Final 4 Series: Game 1
(best-of seven)

Rutlandiand Union

Bobcats Bop Crushers 5-3 In RU Opener
In the opening game of the Ruthlandian Final 4 Series at City Park Stadium in Beechwood, the Bobcats 27-year-old pitching whiz Billy Ray stifled Crystal Lake 5-3... the short, stubby right-hander with a 95-mph fastball held the Crushers to 2 runs and 4 hits in 8 innings... he fanned 7 and walked just one... Ray left the game with a 5-2 lead... closer Jeff Lyons was touched for a run in the ninth, but got his 3rd save in the postseason... 2B Darrell Woods (.190) sparked the Bobcats with a 2-run homer in the second frame and SS Ace Parker (.423) had 2 hits and 3 RBIs... Parker drove in one run in the second and 2 more in the fourth to put Beechwood up 5-1... the Bobcats collected 8 hits, all off starter and loser Ralph McCullough (0-1 9.95)... McCullough, a 23-game winner in the regular season has struggled mightily in the playoffs... Crystal Lake could get only 5 hits, but 2 of them went yard... C Eddie Robertson (.345) and 2B Greg Murphy (.258) hit solo shots in the fifth and ninth innings.

Tycobbian Union

Z's Torres Tops Nats Osterman 4-3 In First Game
Two of the best hurlers in the IPA tangled today in the first game of the Tycobbian Final 4 Series at De la Vega Stadium in Luxora...Luxora's 25-game winner Tiago Torres got the best of Ozarka's 21-game winner Benny Osterman 4-3... Torres was ripped hard in the top of the fourth for 3 runs, but toughed it out and blanked the hard-hitting Naturals the rest of the game... in a complete game, Torres (2-1 1.67) allowed 6 hits, whiffed 8 and walked 4... LF Jon Stafford (.267) hit the game-winner, a two-out RBI single in the last of the ninth... Ostermann kept Ozarka in the game, leaving with the score tied at 3-all after 8 innings... Osterman permitted 7 hits, fanned 7 and walked 3... Howard Hutch (0-1) relieved him in the ninth and lost it... the Zorros cracked 9 hits, while the Naturals got only 6... the Z's got two runs on wild pitches... Osterman had 3 in the game.
