IPA Pro Cup Final Series - Game 2

10 Straight For Eastshore, Tops Nats 5-3
There's just no stopping the Eastshore Elegants this year in the Pro Cup playoffs... in a tremendous postseason run they have won all 10 of their games... Eastshore beat Ozarka 5-3 in game two of the Pro Cup Finals... the Elegants shot out to a 4-0 lead in the opening frame and held on behind the solid pitching of Eddie Lance (3-0 2.16), who throttled the Naturals on 8 hits in a complete-game outing... Eastshore made quick work of Wayne Gates, a 24-game winner in the regular season... they teed off on Gates for 5 runs and 8 hits in just 3 innings... Ozarka got great work from the bullpen, but it was too late... Howard Hutch and Wayne Haren shut out the Elegants on 3 hits over the last 6 innings... Hutch fanned 9 in just 4 frames and Haren hurled hitless ball and retired all 6 batters he faced, striking out 2 of them... overall the Nats staff had 13 strikeouts in the game.

Eastshore collected 11 hits and were paced by SS Gil Lantz (.514) with 3 hits and 2 runs scored... Lantz is having a fantastic postseason... RF Stan Cuccinello (.273) and 2B Gerry Garner (.366) delivered 2 hits each for the Elegants... Lantz hit his 4th roundtripper in the playoffs and CF Larry Lowe (.182) got his first... 3B Andre Dumas (.271) and pinchhitter James Mack (.250) belted solo homers for the Naturals... Dumas has 4 homers and 12 RBIs in the playoffs.
