2023 IPA Pro Cup Final 4 Series

Valmara Wins Again, Ray Stops Elnora 3-2
Underdog Valmara won its second in a row on the road in the RU Final 4 Series as Billy Ray stopped Elnora 3-2 at State Fair Park... it was Ray's third consecutive postseason victory... Ray (3-0 1.44) logged 8 innings, permitted 2 runs and 6 hits, struck out 3 and walked just one batter... closer Chris Phillips chalked his second save in the playoffs with a 1-2-3 ninth... Will Hamilton went all the way for Elnora, allowing only 1 earned run and 7 hits, while fanning 6 and walking 4... right off the bat the V's took a 2-0 lead in the opening frame, scoring on an infield error and an RBI double by 2B Ron Freiberg (.346)... Valmara added another run in the third inning on a passed ball... RF Travis Glass tripled in both All-Star runs in the last of the sixth... SS Tyler Ferguson (.320) collected 3 hits and an RBI for the Vipers and CF Teddy Szymanski (.407) had 2 hits and scored twice... Glass (.345) had 3 hits for Elnora and CF Charley Beard (.235) a pair.

Blue Jays Up By 2, Skim By WR 3-2 In Game 2
Tuckanarra topped White River for the second successive game at home on the Blue Jays home field, Central Park Stadium... Tuckanarra got another stellar start from Glynn Starr, who only gave up 2 runs and 4 hits in his 8 innings... but Starr's (2-0 1.69) control was shaky as he walked 6... Starr had 6 Ks... closer Archie Desmond struck out the side in the ninth to preserve the win... Desmond has 3 saves in the playoffs... Starr also drove in the winning run in the sixth with a sacrifice fly, snapping a 2-2 tie... Don French (2-1 2.31) was the loser... he permitted 3 runs and 6 hits in 6+ frames... 6 walks caused French a lot of trouble... not many hits in the game... 7 for the Blue Jays and just 4 for White River.
