2017 IPA Pro Cup Elite 8 Series (best-of-seven)

Elegants Win Again, Bomb Snappers 11-2
Eastshore is well on its way to defending its Pro Cup crown... the Elegants smashed Rocky Rapids 11-2 for its third win in the RU Elite 8 Series and the 15th consecutive playoff win over the last two years... Eastshore rattled the fences at Snapper Stadium for 16 base hits, while Melvin Key held the Snappers to 2 runs on 8 hits for the win... 26-game winner Don Chaney was battered for 8 runs in 4+ innings.

Valka Nips Valmara 5-4 In Game 3
The Valka Blackhawks took a one-game lead in the Ruthlandian Elite 8 Series with a hard-earned 5-4 victory in 13 innings... southpaw reliever Robby Riley worked two scoreless frames for the win, while Jace Allardyce took the loss.

Bucs Battle Back, Beat Nats In 10th
Playing at home at Bayside Park against the mighty Ozarka Naturals, the Bay St. Clair Buccaneers battled back from a 5-2 deficit with 3 runs in the last of the seventh and then won game three in the tenth 6-5... the win gave the Bucs a 2-1 lead in the TU Elite 8 Series... Reliever Steve Richt notched the win with a runless tenth... Josh Carpenter was nailed with the loss after taking over in the last inning... Ozarka outhit the Bucs 10-9... the Naturals also outhomered them 3-1... 3B Andre Dumas slammed a pair and 1B Benny Rousseau hit one... 1B Gerry Fields went deep for the Buccaneers.

Typhoons Get Back In Series With Zorros
Favored Turon finally won a game in the Tycobbian Elite 8 Series with the Luxora Zorros and they did it the hard way on the road at De la Vega Stadium... the Typhoons trimmed the Z's 8-5 behind their ace Nicky Engstrom, who was not at his sharpest... Engstrom hurled 7 innings and was tagged for 2 unearned runs on 4 hits... he departed with a 6-2 lead, which grew to 8-2 until Luxora ripped his relief for 3 runs in the ninth... Luxora starter Tiago Torres was ineffective as he was shelled for 4 runs in the first 2 innings... the Typhoons piled up 14 hits, while the Zorros got only 7.
