2010 IPA Pro Cup Finals: Game Five at Typhoon Stadium in Turon
Turon Bombs Colfax 9-2, Leads Pro Cup 3-2
Turon playing in the friendly confines of Typhoon Stadium bombed Colfax 9-2 and now has the upper hand in the Pro Cup Finals with a three games to two lead... It was the Typhoons third consecutive home victory... Not only did Freddi Spiegel come up with his best postseason effort, but manager Whitey Richburn's bats were booming, too... The Typhoons lashed out 13 hits and Spiegel held Colfax to just four in an easy win... 1B Johnny Carducci (.238) homered with three hits, scored three times and drove in four runs... Rookie RF Jack Brown (.245) cracked a pair of hits and batted in two runs... and Spiegel (3-2 4.47) hurled a complete game and finished up with 8 Ks and four walks... Jasper LaForge (2-2 4.29) took the brunt of the battering as he allowed seven runs in two-plus innings... Turon broke a 1-1 tie in the third with a six-run uprising... The Pro Cup Series will now return to Colfax and Mountain View Stadium for the rest of the series... Turon needs one win in two games, while Colfax has to win them all... manager Clem Rogers has his 27-game winners Ilya Szabo (27-4) and Jimmy Joe Cartner (27-4) ready to go in the last two games... Turon's skipper Ashton "Whitey" Richburn will counter with Anthony Nardone (14-20) and Jacques Lemaire (10-9)... Should Turon pull off the upset of favored Colfax, it will the Typhoons fourth Pro Cup championship... Should the Blasters rally and win, it will be their first IPA title... Colfax is 7-1 at home in the postseason, while Turon is 4-4 in away games.
