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

Crushers Rally Late, Crush Wolves 9-3 In Game 3
Playing the first-ever Pro Cup game in Midway's Joe Wolf Stadium, Crystal Lake snapped a 3-3 tie with a 5-run explosion in the top of the eighth and came away with a 9-3 triumph and a two-games-to-one lead in the series... two runs came in on an error by 2B Frank Reinhard to make it 5-3... C Eddie Robertson (.250) made it 6-3 with a sac fly... winning pitcher Vic Bauer (.143) cracked a 2-run single putting Crystal Lake comfortably in front 8-3... LF Michael Melchiore (.125) added another run in the ninth with a sacrifice fly... the Crushers collected 13 hits, while Midway had 6... Crystal Lake had another atrocious day in the field with 4 errors, but survived them.

Winner Bauer (2-0 1.83) permitted only one earned run, struck out 4 and walked 3, while going the distance... losing pitcher Dakota Dyami (2-2 3.34) was battered for 8 runs and 11 hits in 7+ innings... CF Andy McGee (.246) sparked the Crushers with 3-5 and 2 runs scored... 1B Phil Gravelli (.281) scored twice, drove in one and had 2 hits... Melchiore (.125) homered, scored 2 times and batted in 2 runs... and Robertson had 2 RBIs... for Midway Reinhard got a solo homer in the fourth inning and RF Kyle Rigney (.373) went 3-5 in defeat... this was the Wolves first home loss in the playoffs this year... they had won six straight.
