2018 IPA Pro Cup Finals - Game 5 At Jay Loman Park In Ancona
Penn's 3-Run HR Gives Typhoons Pro Cup Lead
Reggie Penn saved the day for Turon with a dramatic 3-run smash in the seventh inning to defeat Ancona 4-2 in game 5 of the IPA Pro Cup Series... with the win the Typhoons nudged ahead three games to two... up until Penn's clout, Dave Blair had it pretty much his way... Blair shut them out for the first 6 innings, but caved in in the four-run seventh... LF Penn (.257) topped Turon at the plate with 3 hits... winner Shane Farmer (3-3 4.14) gave Turon a strong start, holding Ancona to 2 runs on 5 hits with 4 Ks and 4 walks... the loss went to Blair (4-2 3.00), who permitted 7 hits and 4 runs in 7 innings... SS Benny Morgan (.271) drove in both of the Red Elephants scores... the clubs will close out the series in Turon at Typhoon Stadium... the Typhoons need one win in the two games to claim their record fourth Pro Cup... Ancona needs to sweep the final two contests for its first Pro Cup crown.
