2008 Islandian Pro Alliance Final 4 Series
Ruthlandian Union - Game 4 at Granger Field in Wynnamac
Wynnamac Wallops LaGrange 12-4, Needs One More Win
Playing at home at Granger Field, Wynnamac took a giant step toward the Pro Cup by walloping LaGrange 12-4 in the fourth game of the Final 4 Series to take an overwhelming three games to one advantage... One more triumph and the Sundowners will claim a spot in the IPA Pro Cup championship... Wynnamac teed off on the Sports to the tune of 14 hits and was led by 2B J. L. Lawrence (.310) with two hits and four RBIs, C Mike Holder (.200) with two hits and three runs batted in, RF Mark Buchanan (.356) with two hits and three runs, LF Big Hoss Burkhalter (.400) with three hits and two runs and CF Dalton Leeds (.262) with two hits and two runs scored... manager Matt Donnelly also got a good start from a surprise starter Angus Conroy, who took Lefty Paddison spot in the rotation... Paddison is 0-3 in the postseason... and it paid off as Conroy went the distance, gave up four runs and seven hits with four strikeouts and four walks... Conroy was used only in middle relief during the regular campaign... He posted a 2-1 record with a 3.05 ERA in 44 appearances.
Tycobbian Union - Game 4 at De la Vega Stadium in Luxora
DC's Mohoski Beats Z's 5-3, Redbirds Up 3-1
Denton City rebounded from a 3-1 deficit after five innings and beat Luxora 5-3 to take a three games to one lead in the TU Final 4 Series... The Redbirds can wrap up the best-of-seven series with another victory... Luxora will have to win three in a row to stave off elimination... Mila Mohoski (2-1 3.24) corraled the Zorros on five hits with a strong outing to outpitched Antonio Anaya (2-1 3.52), who ran out of gas in the late innings... Anaya was touched for five runs and seven hits in six-plus innings... Mohoski shut out the Z's over the final seven frames after allowing three runs in the first two innings... Redbird RF Danny Nash (.412) led the comeback with a fifth-inning homer to cut it to 3-2, then a three-run sixth cinched it, highlighted by SS Trevor Tomlinson's (.216) game-tying single and CF Rod MacCormack's (.294) game-winning single... Nash drove in an insurance run with a ground-out to finish the scoring.
