2016 IPA Pro Cup Final 4 Series

Ruthlandian Union

Elegants On Verge Of Sweep, Edge FM 6-5
Returning home to the friendly skies of Sky High Stadium didn't do Far Mountain any good... the Redhawks dropped game 3 to the Eastshore Elegants 6-5 and fell behind three-games-to-none in the Ruthlandian Final 4... Eastshore got a spotty outing from Melvin Key, but still got its seventh straight victory... the Elegants are unbeaten in the postseason... Key worked 8 innings, allowed 3 runs and 6 hits with 5 walks and 4 Ks... closer Jack Wilson almost blew the save by giving up a pair of runs in the ninth as the Redhawks made a belated run at the Elegants... Eastshore racked up a dozen hits and were paced by 2B Gerry Garner (.321) with 2 hits and 3 RBIs... CF Larry Lowe (.179) and SS Gil Lantz (.571) also scored 2 runs apiece... 3B Mackie McAllister (.147) led Far Mountain with a two-run homer... the losing pitcher was Bobby Snow (2-1 4.91), who was slammed for 6 runs and 10 hits in his 6 innings.

Ozarka Rallies Past Turon With 4-Run 9th
At Typhoon Stadium, Turon nursed a 3-2 into the ninth, but couldn't hold it... Ozarka rallied for 4 runs to take the wind out of the Typhoons 6-3 and go up by a game in the TU Final 4... the Naturals have a 2-1 edge in the best-of-seven affair... Shaky defense played a huge part in the loss as Turon committed 4 errors, the last one costing them the game... starter James Stuart in a marvelous effort staked Turon to a 3-2 lead heading into the top of the ninth as he limited the Nats to just 3 hits in 8 innings... however, closer Merle Studebaker (0-1 5.79) had a dreadful inning and blew the game, but only surrendered one earned run... winning pitcher Eddie Roberts (3-0 4.98) plugged away for 8 innings, permitting 10 hits, but only 3 runs... Roberts fanned 7 and walked only one... Dennis Purcell closed it out with a scoreless ninth for the save, his second of the playoffs... C Frank Kiffin (.275) batted in 2 runs for the winners, while Turon C Cory Moore (.219) got the only homer in the game.
