2018 IPA Pro Cup Finals - Game 4 At Jay Loman Park In Ancona
Ancona Ties Pro Cup, Trips Turon 6-5
The Ancona Red Elephants may be the underdog in the IPA Pro Cup, but they certainly are not just rolling over and playing dead... Ancona snatched a ninth-inning victory away from the heavily-favored Turon Typhoons 6-5 on Kenny Willard's (.244) two-run double and knotted up the series at two games apiece... the Red Elephants collected 11 hits and were sparked by RF Louie DiMucci (.292) with 3 RBIs and 2B Paul Alston (.246) with 3 hits and 4 runs scored... Clete Dukas (4-3 2.66) gutted out a complete-game win... Dukas allowed 5 runs and 9 hits... he blanked Turon 3-0 for the first 6 frames, then was tagged for 5 runs in the next two innings and entered the ninth behind 5-4... Typhoon starter Nicky Engstrom worked 7 innings, gave up 7 hits and 4 runs and left trailing 4-2... Juan-Carlos Torriente (1-2 9.00) was the loser... he was hit hard for 3 hits and 2 runs in the decisive ninth... Turon 1B Clyde Kingsford (.200) drove in 2 runs to pace the Typhoons.
