2022 IPA Pro Cup Finals
(best-of-seven)

Welch Whips Wolf 2-1, Crushers Wins Pro Cup Opener
The opening game of the 2022 Pro Cup Series at Lakefront Stadium was all it was expected to be... both clubs had aces on the mound and they did their stuff... when it was over Duncan Welch hurled Crystal Lake past Motega Wolf and the Midway Wolves 2-1 in a classic duel... Welch (5-0 1.03) spread 8 hits and shut out the Wolves 2-0 for 8 innings, before his defense almost blew the game with two errors in the ninth... Welch fanned 7 and walked 3, almost going the distance, but needed help for the last out with the winning runs on second and third... closer Roger Bishop got his 3rd save of the playoffs when he retired Chitto Chandler (.196) on an easy grounder for the final out... Wolf (1-1 1.31) went all the way, permitted 9 hits and 2 runs with 5 Ks and 2 walks... Crusher 1B Phil Gravelli (.271) got the first run across in the first frame on a sacrifice fly that scored 2B Greg Murphy (.400)... Crystal Lake also scored in the fourth on a double by LF Jed Franks (.295) and a single by SS Alton Sonnenberg (.250)... that proved to be the eventual game-winner... Midway got its only score in the ninth on a ground-out by 3B Rob Gigler (.300).
