2014 IPA Pro Cup Series - Game 7

Wildcats Win 2014 Pro Cup In 7 Games
Down 3 games to 1, the never-say-die Kenwood Wildcats came back and won the final 3 games to win the 2014 IPA Pro Cup... The Wildcats won game 7 by the score of 3-1 behind some fancy pitching by Sammy Shaw (3-2 3.57), who stopped the Belair Beach Sunbirds on 1 run and 4 hits in 8 impressive innings... closer Rick Brickell (1-1 3.75) notched his 6th playoff save by setting the Sunbirds down in order in the ninth... This was manager Aaron Hankins and Kenwood's first ever Pro Cup.

The Wildcats had to beat Nasty Naymick to take the crown... Naymick (4-2 1.94) was tough in the postseason... Naymick allowed 3 runs on 8 hits and left in the ninth... Kenwood scored first with a run in the top of the third... 1B Xavier Rocha (.259) walked, moved to second on an error by Naymick and scored on 2B Duncan Renwick's (.367) base hit... In the bottom of the fifth Belair Beach knotted the score at 1-1... singles by 3B Zippy Parks (.283) and 1B Denny Gray (.258) placed runners on second and third... Parks scored on SS Ron Nossek's (.250) fly ball... A walk, a sacrifice bunt and a single by Shaw (.077) produced a 2-1 lead for Kenwood in the top of the seventh... Wildcat RF Dennis Riley's (.307) 4th playoff four-bagger provided an insurance run in the eighth.

At the post-game press conference winning skipper Aaron Hankins told reporters, "It's been a long time coming, but we finally won a Pro Cup for the great fans in Kenwood. Our pitching had not been very good in the first six games... we really needed a good outing today and Sammy gave it to us. He was absolutely amazing, holding the Sunbirds to just four hits and one run."
