2011 IPA Pro Cup Series - Game 5 at Far Mountain
Pro Cup Ain't Over Yet, Redhawks Rout Nats 14-4
There's still a lot of life in the Far Mountain Redhawks, who stepped up to the plate and routed Ozarka 14-4 in game 5 of the Pro Cup Series to stave off elimination in the best-of-seven series... Alex Groveland's Redhawks now trail 3 games to 2 and will have to go on the road to come back and win it... It was Ozarka's first loss in 8 away games this postseason... Far Mountain cracked 16 hits in the win and were sparked by CF Xavier Sosa (.328) with 5 RBIs, 3B Duane Parsons (.254) with 3 and 1B Fran Grzanka (.265) with a pair of runs batted in... Grzanka hit a two-run blast to give the Redhawks a 3-2 lead in the second frame... Sosa's grand slam highlighted an 8-run fourth... Boomerang Hines (4-1 1.17) breezed to the victory, permitting 4 runs and 5 hits... Ozarka's superb rookie Eddie Roberts (4-1 4.41) had a terrible day and was pelted for 9 runs and 10 hits and was sent to the showers in the fourth.
In 2009 Far Mountain piled up a 3-0 lead in the Pro Cup Finals and lost it to the Turon Typhoons, who staged a tremendous comeback and won 4 in a row to take the trophy... The Redhawks know it's possible for a team to come back and win... They just hope it's them this year.
