2010 IPA Pro Cup Finals: Game Three at Typhoon Stadium in Turon

Turon Tops Szabo and Blasters 4-3, Now Trail By 1
In an almost do-or-die situation at home at Typhoon Stadium, Turon got back in the Pro Cup battle with a 4-3 triumph over the Colfax Blasters to cut their lead to two games to one in the best-of-seven series... To do it they had to beat one of the best pitchers in the IPA, Ilya Szabo... The Typhoons lit into the Colfax ace for three runs in the opening frame on an RBI double by CF Mac McCurnan (.246) and a two-run two-bagger by 3B John Cottrell (.271)... Colfax SS Bob Klostermann (.265) made it 3-1 with an RBI single in the top of the third... Szabo allowed another run in the Turon fourth when he misplayed a grounder for an error... LF Paul Coniglio (.267) narrowed the score to 4-2 in the fifth when he doubled in RF Karl Heidelberg (.500)... In the eighth CF Ryan Raines' (.231) solo homer chopped it to 4-3, but that was as close as Colfax could get... Closer Merle Studebaker pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to seal the decision for starter Anthony Nardone (3-1 3.19)... Nardone has been Whitey Richburn's most reliable starter in the postseason... his only loss was 2-1 to the Denton City Redbirds... Nardone worked eight innings, scattered eight hits and gave up three runs, but was shaky at times with six bases on balls... Turon pelted Szabo for 11 hits and were paced by Cottrell with two doubles, three hits by SS Mickey O'Malley (.328) and McCurnan with a pair of hits... Klostermann led the Blasters with two hits in three at-bats... In defeat, Szabo (4-2 1.69) struck out eight batters and issued three walks, while pitching a complete game.
