2016 IPA Pro Cup Elite 8 Series

Ruthlandian Union

Elegants On Verge Of Sweep, Whip Colfax in 10
A great season could be even better, if the Eastshore Elegants win one more game in the best-of-seven RU Elite 8 with the Colfax Blasters... Eastshore took its third in a row with a come-from-behind 6-4 triumph in 10 innings... They trailed 3-1 going into the eighth, when they struck for 3 runs to take a 4-3 lead on RF Stan Cuccinello's (.250) 3-run clout... Cuccinello was the big hero... he also walked and scored the game-winner on an RBI double by 2B Gerry Garner (.333)... Garner came in to score on 1B Ricky Rose error on a groundball... winning pitcher Mel Key (1-0), who had let Colfax tie it up in the ninth, got redemption with a perfect tenth inning... Eastshore caught closer Dallas Somerville on an off-day and stuck him with the loss... Garner paced the Elegants with 3 hits, while 3B Mike Janocko (.200) homered for the Blasters... Eastshore outhit Colfax 10-5... relievers Paul Walker and Jack Wilson combined for 3 hitless innings in the sixth, seventh and eighth... Rodger Wright worked 6 fine frames for Colfax, holding the Elegants to 1 run and 5 hits... a long rain delay forced him to leave the game... his relief couldn't save it for him.

Redhawks Slip By Sunbirds 6-5, Up By A Game
After the Redhawks and Sunbirds split the first two games of the Ruthlandian Union Elite 8 Series in Far Mountain, the series switched to Bayside Park in Belair Beach... in a hotly-contested affair Far Mountain rallied for 2 runs in the top of the ninth to snatch a 6-5 victory and go up two games to one... Behind 5-4, the Redhawks tied it up on C Otis Ott's (.200) RBI single and went ahead on 2B Tim Walczek's (.333) double... starter Bobby Snow (1-0) won it, but struggled through 8 innings, allowing 5 runs and 11 hits... reliever Jesse Hughes got a shaky save... he allowed two hits in the last of the ninth, but got out of it with a double play and a fine throw by LF Phi Stewart, who cut down a runner going from first to third on a base hit to end the game... reliever Nasty Naymick (0-1) was the losing pitcher... Naymick was the victim of the ninth-inning uprising... Both teams has 13 hits each... Far Mountain was led by CF Jonas Boehm (.333), 1B Fran Grzanka (.308) and RF Julian Zuvala (.400), all with two hits apiece... topping the Sunbirds were 1B Derek Krohn (.400) with 3 hits and CF Norbert Tarver (.545) with a pair of hits... there were no home runs in the game.

Tyrobbian Union

Hawks Halt Typhoons 7-0 In Game 3
After being totally demolished in the first two games of the TU Elite 8 Series, the North Hills Hawks finally played like a division winner and knocked off Turon 7-0 behind 23-year-old right-hander Chris Zhiroff, who hurled a 7-hit shutout at Typhoon Stadium... Zhiroff walked 7 and threw a lot of pitches, but always managed to hold off Turon, who stranded 13 runners... at the plate North Hills was led by C Todd Simons (.182) with a two-run double and a two-run homer... James Stuart (0-1) sustained the defeat... he was ravaged for 6 runs in 8-plus innings, but only permitted 2 earned runs.

Nats Annihilate Viks 12-6, Ozarka Leads 2-1
The hitters were out in force at Downtown Plaza Stadium in Bayview, but it was the visiting Ozarka Naturals that did the most damage... the Nats walloped four out of the park and belted the Vikings 12-6 in game 3 of the series to take a 2-1 lead... 1B Benny Rousseau (.538) and RF Ken Mayberry (.400) had solo homers, CF Ryoma Nakayama (.538) hit a two-run shot and 3B Andre Dupas (.462) finished off the Vikings with a grand slammer in the sixth... Eddie Roberts (1-0) worked 5 innings for the win... Roberts was hit hard for 4 runs and 8 hits, but departed ahead 7-4... middle reliever Wayne Haren worked 3 scoreless innings for the Naturals... Norm Roy (0-1) lost it by giving up 6 runs in the first 3 innings... Dumas led the Ozarka hit parade with 3 hits and 5 RBIs and Nakayama had 3 hits and 3 RBIs... 1B Benny Rousseau also slapped out 3 base hits... Bayview LF Davey Krueger (.600) had a 3-run shot in the first frame to top his club... 2B Tommy Shore (.438) and 1B Stan Haddix (.357) chipped in 3 hits each in defeat.
