2016 IPA Pro Cup Final 4 Series

Ruthlandian Union

Eastshore Sweeps FM, Pro Cup Bound
For the first time in their history, the Eastshore Elegants are headed for the IPA Pro Cup... They toppled perennial power Far Mountain in a four-game sweep, whipping them 6-3 in game four despite being outhit 13 to 9... the powerful Elegants won their 8th playoff game in a row... they also swept Colfax in the previous round... rookie Danny Siegfried (4-0 1.64) bent, but didn't break... he allowed 11 hits and 3 runs in his 8 innings, but walked none... reliever Paul Walker closed out with a runless ninth to seal the verdict... Robby Kelly (0-3 6.45) caught the loss for the Redhawks, giving up 4 runs and 7 hits in 7 innings... a 3-run first did Kelly in... although Far Mountain managed to tie it up 3-3 after 5 innings... the Elegants regained the lead with a run in the sixth and finished the Redhawks off with 2 more in the top of the ninth... RF Stan Cuccinello (.303) sparked Eastshore with 3-5 and 3 RBIs... 2B Travis McCormick (.182) led Far Mountain with 2 hits and 2 RBIs... SS Don Nichols (.323) also added 3 hits... Manager Killer Brewster will have to wait a few days for his opponent... Turon and Ozarka are still going at it in the Tycobbian Union Final 4.

Turon Ties Nats With Comeback Win 7-6
"It ain't over 'til it's over" is a well-known adage in baseball parlance and it came to past today at Typhoon Stadium in Turon... Ozarka had its way until the seventh inning... the Nats posted a 6-1 lead and seemed destined to go up 3-1 in the best-of-seven series, but Turon had other ideas... the Typhoons jumped all over starter Benny Ostermann in the final 3 frames and came away with a 7-6 triumph to deadlock the TU Final 4 at 2 games apiece... 1B Clyde Kingsford's (.441) single made it 6-5, followed by RF Jack Brown (.343) with a 2-run walk-off game-winning triple off losing pitcher Dennis Purcell (1-2), who came on in the ninth with a 6-4 lead, but couldn't stop the Typhoons... Reliever Marshall Price (1-0) got the win with a 1-2-3 ninth... Turon had a 13-10 hit advantage and were led by Brown with 3 hits and 2 RBIs... SS Andy Hansen (.353) went 3-4 and scored twice... and 2B Matt Madison (.395) and C Cory Moore (.250) had 2 hits and 2 RBIs each... CF Ryoma Nakayama (.471) and 1B Benny Rousseau (.400) paced the Naturals with 3 hits apiece... Nakayama had a homer and 3 RBIs, while Rousseau homered and drove in one run.
