2029 IPA Final 4 Series
(best-of-seven)

Ruthlandian Union

It's Over! Stoner Shocks Valmara In 5 Games
Nobody gave them much of a chance against Valmara, but the Stoner Stars still shocked them in five games in the Ruthlandian Final 4... the eighth-seeded Stars finished off the fourth-seeded Vipers 6-4 in game five at home at Nonnac Stadium, coming back from a late-inning 4-2 deficit... in the bottom of the seventh back-to-back RBI doubles by LF Kevin Fisher (.343) and 2B Norm Murdoch (.178) tied the game up at 4-4, then the winning run came in on an error by 1B Ron Freiberg.

Winning pitcher Raul Hidalgo (2-2/2.57) survived 12 hits, managing to get out of several jams... in a complete game, Hidalgo was touched for only 4 runs, walked only 2 and whiffed 5 Vipers... Chris Phillips (1-3/3.86) got hung with the loss, allowing 5 runs and 8 hits in 7 innings... Phillips was behind 5-4 when he departed.

Stoner had 10 hits and was led at the plate by Fisher, catcher P. J. Blake (.273) and SS Benny Webster (.262), all with 2 hits each... Fisher had 3 RBIs, highlighted by a 2-run homer in the third frame ... topping the Vipers were 2B Alec Leclerc (.283) with 3 base hits... four players chipped in with a pair of hits apiece: 3B Amos Gallagher (.364), C Floyd Randolph (.220), RF Gerry Kazmarek (.324) and Phillips (.500)

Reds Gain Upper Hand, Rout Ninjas 11-5 In Game 5
Like they say, "It ain't over, til it's over"... Ginza had everything its way for the first 6 and a half innings... the Ninjas built up a 6-0 lead, but it quickly went to the wayside when Rolling Hills exploded for 8 runs in the bottom of the seventh, then added 3 more in the eighth to overwhelm them 11-6, despite being outhit 19 to 15... the game five win gave the Reds a 3-2 edge in the Tycobbian Union Final 4... the winner will play the Ruthlandian champ, the Stoner Stars, who amazed everyone by qualifying for the Pro Cup Finals.

C Tony Brinkerhoff (.444) smacked 3 hits, scored 2 runs and batted in one to lead the Reds... four players had 2 hits each: CF Scotty Yiska (.300), RF Bobby McConnell (.310), 2B Derek Kristensen (.385) and 3B Jeff Booker (.333)... Yiska and Kristensen drove in 2 runs apiece... Ginza's best bats were 3B Kurt Holstein (.611) and LF Jiro Yamazaki (.382), both with 4 hits in 5 tries.

It really wasn't a good day to be on the mound with a grand total of 34 hits... Reliever Sal Jordan (1-0) faced only one batter and got credit for the win... Jordan got the last out in the top of the seventh... Ninja starter and loser Louis Plooster (1-2/4.96) was pelted for 11 hits and 8 runs in his 6 and two-thirds innings.
