2021 IPA Pro Cup Final Series
(best-of-seven games)
Tate Tames Rascals, Rovers Win Game 2, Too
For the second straight day, the Sligo Rovers got a standout mound job and went up 2-0 in the best-of-seven IPA Pro Cup Series... southpaw Sam Tate tamed White River 3-2 in game two... Tate (1-1 4.82) yielded only 2 runs and 4 hits in 8 sterling innings, striking out 4 and walking one... closer Lenny Ciaccio (2.16) notched his fifth playoff save by striking out 2 of the 3 hitters he faced in the ninth... shoddy defense cost the Rascals the game... they committed 4 errors... Del Brewer (1-2 2.81) deserved a better fate... he allowed only one earned run and 5 hits in defeat... Sligo went up 3-0 after four innings... 1B Johnny Lee Harder (.254), RF Clell Renshaw (.263) and CF Chris Michel (.246) drove in the runs... White River picked up 2 in the seventh on PH Derek Durel's (.364) double... game three will be played in White River at White River Stadium.
