2016 IPA Pro Cup Elite 8 Series

Tycobbian Union

Nats Knock Viks Out Of Playoffs
It looked like Bayview would force a seventh game in the TU Elite 8 series with Ozarka... Bayview's Georgie Fambreau was cruising along with a 3-0 lead after 5 innings, but the Naturals reared up and took charge in the late innings for a 7-5 victory that wrapped up a spot for them in the TU Final 4 against the talented Turon Typhoons... Ozarka beat Bayview 4 games to 2... Winner Eddie Roberts (2-0 5.93) labored, but toughed it out... Bayview tagged him for 3 runs in the first on LF Davey Krueger's RBI single and 3B Karl Benson's (.222) 2-run double... Roberts then settled down and shut the Vikings out until the ninth... Roberts took a 7-3 lead into the final frame, but was slammed for 3 hits and two runs... Dennis Purcell came in from the bullpen and got the final out with the tying runs on base... Fambreau (0-1 5.00) was charged with the loss, working 7 innings and permitting 7 runs and 8 hits... 1B Benny Rousseau (.360), C Frank Kiffin (.269) and CF Ryoma Nakayama (.500) sparked the Ozarka 9-hit attack with two hits apiece... LF Davey Krueger (.478) and 2B Tommy Shore (.444) led Bayview with 2 RBIs each... Ozarka, which won 105 games in the regular season, is a slight favorite over Turon in the Final 4.
