2032 IPA Pro Cup Elite 8 Series

Ruthlandian Union

LaGrange Advances, Defeats Diamonds In 6 Games
The LaGrange Sports wrapped up the Ruthlandian Elite 8 Series at home at Sports Stadium, defeating Claxton in six games... beginning this Friday afternoon the Sports will now battle the Colfax Blasters in the RU Final 4 for the league title and the right to play for the IPA Pro Cup... Ryan Janssen hurled a 5-hitter to beat the Diamonds 3-1... Janssen (1-1/2.81) went the distance, striking out 6 and walking none in a fine outing... loser Tommy Brothers (1-1/0.53) was also impressive, but 3 Claxton errors cost them the game... Brothers worked the entire game, gave up only one earned run on 7 hits and fanned 3 with no bases on balls.

The Sports scored quickly in the first... 2B Whitlow Stokes (.208) was hit by a pitch, tagged up and went to second on LF Johnny Brinkman's (.111) very deep flyball to center, then was driven in by RF Russell Watkins (.308)... Claxton CF Tommy Lambright's (.154) single and SS Mike Benners's (.429) double knotted the score at 1-all in the third... LaGrange broke the tie with two runs in the sixth on Ron McCullough's (.500) base hit and 1B Harvey Creighton's (.286) RBI groundout.
