Islandian Pro Cup Series - Game Two at Turon

Turon's Pickett Tosses 2-Hitter, Lead Vipers 2-0
Jeb Pickett was magnificent on the mound as he tossed a two-hit shutout to put the surprising Turon Typhoons ahead two-games-to-none in the best-of-five Islandian Pro Cup title series. Manager Whitey Richburn is just one victory away from the trophy after Pickett blanked potent Valmara 6-0 in the second game. Pickett (1-2 2.76) had a perfect game for five and two-thirds innings, finally giving up a walk to pinchhitter Ralph Pace to break the spell. Pickett had a no-hitter until CF Jan Szymanski (.280) singled to lead off the eighth. 3B Zoran Belakov also doubled in the inning after Szymanski was thrown out by RF George Farley when he tried to tag up on a short fly ball. Pickett, Turon's biggest winner with a 17-7 record in the regular season, struck out seven and walked one in a superlative performance over one of the best-hitting ballclubs in the IPA. The Typhoons handled Valmara's ace Danny Blauser (3-1 3.31) roughly, tagging him for four runs in five hits in five innngs to give him his first playoff loss after three wins. Two of the runs, however, were unearned. Turon cracked 10 hits in all, sparked by C Trace Crittenden (.280), who had two RBIs. SS John-Paul Trevenot (.275) put them ahead 1-0 in the fourth with a double. They added on three more in the fifth on RBIs by LF Lance Ambrose (.324), Crittenden and 3B Ernie Fletcher (.265). A balk and a single by Crittenden plated tow more to made it 6-0 in the sixth.

The championship series now changes venues to Valmara. Turon will try to wrap it tomorrow afternoon at War Memorial Stadium.
