2022 IPA Final 4 Series
(best-of-seven)

Crushers Clip Rovers 6-4 In Game 4
5 errors gifted Crystal Lake with 6 runs in its 6-4 victory over Sligo in game four, pushing the Crushers lead to 3-1 in the RU Final 4 series, bringing the defending Pro Cup champ to the brink of elimination... Duncan Welch (4-0 1.29) struggled, but went the route, permitting only 2 earned runs and 5 hits with 4 walks and 5 strikeouts... 2B Greg Murphy (.400) sparked the Crushers with 2 hits and 2 RBIs... his second-inning two-bagger gave Crystal Lake a 4-2 lead... 3B Tommy Gompers (.333) also had 2 hits and scored twice... RF Augie Marshal (.324) and LF Jed Franks (.265) batted in the other runs... Ralph Odakota (1-3 3.41) was the victim of the shoddy defense... Odakota worked 5 innings, gave up 5 hits and 6 unearned runs... he departed behind 6-2 and Welch made the lead hold up... C Sherman Albert (.256) doubled in 2 runs in the first inning giving the Rovers a short-lived 2-1 edge... RF Clell Renshaw (.400) homered in the seventh and narrowed the score to 6-4... there were only 11 hits in the game, 6 for the Crushers and 5 for the Rovers.

Wolves Skim By Suns 6-5 In 12 Innings
In game four of the Tycobbian Final 4 Midway's Sammy Murphy stepped up to lead off the bottom of the 12th and slammed it into the stands for a 6-5 victory over favored Arroyo Grande... the Wolves only need one more win to advance to the Pro Cup Finals for the first time in the club's 21-year history... Midway blew a 5-3 lead in the ninth, but came back in extra innings to triumph... the Wolves got 17 hits, but had a tough time putting away Arroyo Grande... they left 13 baserunners on base... Motega Wolf shut out the Suns 2-0 for the first five frames, but was stung by 1B Rusty Vizcarra's 3-run homer in the sixth... single runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth gave the Wolves a 5-3 lead, but the Suns tied it with 2 unearned runs in the top of the ninth... in all Midway committed 4 errors... Big John Littlefeather (1-0 1.35) worked 2 scoreless innings for the win, with the defeat going to Steve Sampson (0-2 5.73)... Murphy (.364) topped the Wolves with 4 hits... RF Kyle Rigney (.381) had 3 hits and scored 2 runs... 2B Frank Reinhard (.314) smacked 3 hits and batted in a pair of runs... and CF Johnny Lee (.333) homered and drove in 2 runs... Arroyo Grande managed only 8 hits with Vizcarra (.325) getting 3 of them... the rookie has hit 4 out of the park in the postseason, after topping the IPA with 58 in the regular season.
