2013 IPA Pro Cup Finals - Game Two at Central Park Stadium in Tuckanarra
Redhawks Beat Blue Jays Again, 10th Straight Playoff Win
The defending Pro Cup champion Far Mountain Redhawks are unbeaten on the road, unbeaten at home and unbeaten in the playoffs this season. Alex Groveland's crew bumped off Tuckanarra 8-6 for its 10th straight postseason victory. This time it was the bats that prevailed. The Redhawks registered 11 hits and were sparked by SS Don Nichols (.302) with 3 RBIs and 2 hits and LF Phil Stewart (.186), who scored three times and batted in a run. 1B Fran Grzanka (.349) cracked a solo homer for the winners. Trailing 3-2 Far Mountain put 3 runs on the scoreboard in the fourth and 3 more in the sixth frame to do away with Tuckanarra. The Blue Jays made it close with single runs in the seventh, eighth and ninth. Robby Kelly (3-0 2.42) posted the victory. He struggled at times, but went 8 innings, allowed 11 hits and 5 runs, while fanning 7 and issuing 3 bases on balls. Jesse Hughes (1.29) got his 3rd playoff save despite giving up a run in his only inning, the ninth. The Blue Jays collected 12 hits to 11 for the Redhawks. Loser Delaney Elliott (2-3 5.18) had a dismal start and was rocked for 5 runs in his 5 and two-thirds innings. SS Wayne Snider and rookie sensation RF Danny Redd made it close. Snider (.271) homered and drove in 4 runs with 3 hits, while Redd (.421) had a perfect 4-for-4 day at the plate and scored 4 times.
