2014 IPA Pro Cup Series - Game 3
BB Sunbirds Trounce Kenwood 8-2, Lead Pro Cup 2-1
For game three the IPA Pro Cup Series switched to Olde Towne Grounds in Kenwood, but it didn't help the homestanding Wildcats... the Belair Beach Sunbirds continued to thrive at the plate with 12 hits and an 8-2 triumph to take a two to one edge in the series.
Belair Beach got a fine start from Wally Green, too... Green (2-3 1.91) worked 7 strong innings, fanned 10 and held Kenwood to 1 run on 6 hits... closer Groot Tenbrook finished up, but allowed a run in his 2 innings, an eighth-inning clout by LF Jimmy Brewer (.182)... loser Sol Yakis (0-1) was routed after 2 innings... Yakis was ripped for 6 runs and 7 hits... It was Yakis' first start of the year... He made 52 relief appearances in the regular season and was very effective... Skipper Aaron Hankins is still looking for a good start from someone... all his starters have been battered so far in the series.
Belair Beach's top bats today belonged to 3B Zippy Parks (.341) with 3 hits, 2 runs and 2 RBIs, RF Billy Martz (.358), who drove in 2 runs with his 4th postseason home run and LF Ron Dizon (.333) with a pair of hits and 2 runs scored... RF Dennis Riley (.333) topped the Wildcats with 3 hits.
