2010 IPA Pro Cup Finals: Game Six at Mountain View Stadium in Colfax
Szabo Zaps Turon 5-0, Pro Cup Goes To 7th Game
Colfax was on the brink of elimination in the Pro Cup Series and needed a win in the worst way and got it, compliments of its ace right-hander Ilya Szabo... The 31-year-old Szabo zapped the Turon Typhoons 5-0 to force a seventh and deciding game tomorrow afternoon in Colfax... Szabo (5-2 1.42) was almost flawless as he permitted only five singles, struck out six and gave up not one single base on balls in a masterful performance... Turon was not so fortunate as losing pitcher Anthony Nardone (3-2 3.65) continued to be plagued by wildness with eight walks... Nardone worked seven innings, gave up only four hits, but allowed all five scores... The game was scoreless for three frames when the Blasters erupted for four runs... Nardone walked four in the inning and forced in the first run of the game when he walked 2B Ilya Ivanchuk (.250) with two outs... then C Tino Leonetti (.225) emptied the bases with a three-run double... Colfax got its final run in the seventh when Leonetti got his second double of the game, went to third on a sac bunt and scored on a wild pitch... Tomorrow's Pro Cup finale will have 27-winner Jimmy Joe Cartner going for the Blasters and Jacques Lemaire (10-9) for the Typhoons... However in the postseason Lemaire has excelled with a 3-2 mark and a very strong 1.10 ERA... Lemaire has started four games and relieved three times... Cartner has made five starts with a 2.41 ERA and a 1-2 record.
