2018 IPA Pro Cup Finals - Game 6 At Typhoon Stadium In Turon
Turon Pro Cup Winner, Trounces Ancona 10-2
Valiant Little David was exhausted and finally succumbed to powerful Goliath... The talented Turon Typhoons of the Tycobbian Union put it all together in game 6 and trounced Ancona of the Ruthlandian Union 10-2 at Typhoon Stadium to romp to a four-games-to-two victory in the IPA Pro Cup Finals... it was Turon's 4th title in its history, tops in the league... Ted Farentino (5-0 2.57) had a flawless day on the mound and Typhoon hitters mauled the Red Elephants for 2 homers and 3 doubles in the runaway... Turon racked up 11 hits in all, led by home runs by C Cory Moore (.314) and CF Mac McCurnan (.229)... 2B Matt Madison (.257), LF Andy Porter (.452) and Moore all batted in 2 runs each... LF Kenny Willard (.256) sent 2 out of the park in defeat... Willard had 5 homers in the postseason... Farentino tossed 8 fine innings, fanned 9, walked 1 and surrendered only 2 runs on 7 hits for his 5th playoff victory... Nikon Maragos (0-3 5.75) suffered the loss, allowing 7 runs in 3+ innings... Turon manager Whitey Richburn finally got his 4th Pro Cup after being edged out in seven games in 2010 and 2017... the Pro Cup Series now stands 10 to 8 in favor of the Ruthlandian Union.
Turon also captured the IPA Pro Cup Trophy in 2003, 2006 and 2009.
