IPA Pro Cup Final Series - Game 1

Elegants Win Pro Cup Opener, Edge Nats 5-4 in 13
Everything pointed to a great Pro Cup Series this year... two evenly-matched powerhouses... and that just what the fans got in game one of the best-of-seven series at Ellie Ewing Stadium... Eastshore and Ozarka battled 13 long innings before the Elegants emerged the winner 5-4... Eastshore is unbeaten in 9 games in the playoffs this season... SS Gil Lantz (.484) worked a one-out walk and then scored the winning run on a double by 2B Gerry Garner (.342)... closer Jack Wilson (1-0 2.45) notched the victory with 5 strong relief innings... Wilson allowed a run in the ninth that sent the game into overtime, but he blanked the Naturals the final 4 frames... Howard Hutch, the third pitcher used by manager Joe Mac Carney, was the loser... Hutch (1-1 2.45) came on in the 13th.

Eastshore scored first with a run in the opening inning on an RBI single by Garner... the Elegants made it 2-0 in the third on an RBI ground-out by RF Stan Cuccinello (.256)... Ozarka replied with 3 in the fourth for a 3-2 lead... LF Vic Weinstein (.240) doubled in two and CF Ryoma Nakayama (.426) singled in another... the Elegants regained the lead in the sixth on 3B George Alford's (.229) single and 1B Vic Keller's (.172) double... it stayed 4-3 until the last of the ninth when Nakayama tied it up with a double.

Each team socked 8 hits apiece... 26-game winner Danny Siegfried went 8 strong innings for Eastshore and allowed 3 unearned runs on just 3 hits... 25-game winner Benny Ostermann worked 9 fine innings for the Nats and yielded 4 runs and 5 hits, but only 1 run was earned... Wayne Haren performed very well, too, with 3 shutout innings for Ozarka... Eastshore benefited from 3 double plays... not a good day for the gloves... the Elegants committed 3 miscues and the Nats made 2 errors.

Offensively Gerry Garner led the Elegants with 3-6 and 2 RBIs, including 2 doubles... CF Larry Lowe (.179) scored two runs for the winners... Weinstein and Nakayama paced Ozarka with 2 hits each and 2 runs batted in.
