2020 IPA Elite 8 Series
(best-of-seven)

Ruthlandian Union

CL Crushes Hopes Of Ancona In Game 7
The pitching duel between two 20-game winners never materialized at Jay Loman Park in Ancona... Crystal Lake racked up 14 hits and crushed the Pro Cup hopes of Ancona with a 9-5 shellacking in game seven of the Ruthlandian Elite 8 Series... A 5-run second and 4-run seventh put the Crushers into the RU Final 4 against the Beechwood Bobcats... Duncan Welch didn't have a good day, but it was good enough to win... Welch (2-1 4.13) weathered 12 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 7 and walking 2... Clete Dukas (1-1 4.74) took the tough loss, permitting 5 runs and 9 hits in just 3 innings... the Red Elephants rebounded and narrowed the score to 5-4 after five innings, but were put away when Crystal Lake erupted for 4 more in the top of the seventh, highlighted by SS Jimmy Bell (.231) 3-run homer... CF Andy McGee (.269) also drove in 3 runs for the winners with a pair of doubles.

Tycobbian Union

Ozarka Slams Arlon 10-6, Wins Elite 8
The Ozarka Naturals made it clear right away they were going to the Tycobbian Final 4 with a barrage of runs and hits in game seven of the Elite 8 Series with the Arlon Champions... the Naturals blasted out 14 hits in the 10-6 romp, scoring all of the them in the first four frames... LF Jose Ordonez (.385) belted 3 hits and drove in 3 runs for the victors with 1B Benny Rousseau (.393) adding 3 hits and 2 RBIs... CF Ryoma Nakayama (.222) and C Frank Kiffin (.304) both batted in a pair of runs... Nakayama and Ordonez had homers... Eddie Roberts (2-1 4.01) garnered the victory by going into the 8th, allowing 6 runs and 6 hits with 6 Ks and 2 walks... reliever Wayne Gates got the save... Gates got the final 4 outs and fanned 3 of them... Ozarka will play the Luxora Zorros in next round of the Pro Cup playoffs... The Nats will be without center fielder Ryoma Nakayama for most of the Final 4... Nakayama hit the wall making a catch and suffered a concussion... Doctors say he will miss about a week.
