2018 IPA Pro Cup Finals - Game 2 At Typhoon Stadium In Turon
Blair Beats Turon 5-2, Ancona Evens Series
15-game winner Dave Blair outpitched Shane Farmer, a 29-game winner, to gain a split of the first two games in the best-of-seven IPA Pro Cup Series... Blair (4-1 2.61) led the Ancona Red Elephants to a 5-2 decision over the Turon Typhoons at Typhoon Stadium, holding them to 2 unearned runs on 8 hits in 6 innings... Blair also walked 4 batters... Turon had all kinds of opportunities to get back in the game as they stranded 16 baserunners... Farmer (2-3 4.61) had another sub-par outing as he was battered for 5 runs and 9 hits and was sent to the showers in the seventh inning... the Red Elephants collected 10 hits in all and were led by 1B Johnny Lee Harder (.353) with 2 hits, 3 runs scored and an RBI... SS Benny Morgan (.282) drove in two runs to top Ancona... relievers Lynwood Marshall (2.29) and John Sharpe (2.79) blanked the Typhoons over the last 3 frames with Sharpe getting his 4th save in the postseason... the game was scoreless for the first 3 innings... Turon took a 2-1 lead after 4 innings, but Ancona rallied and built up a 5-2 margin after 7... the series will now switch to Ancona for games 3, 4 and 5.
