2034 IPA Pro Cup Playoffs

Ruthlandian Union Elite 8 Series

Volusia Evens Series, Trims Eastshore 5-3 In 10
Yesterday in four games only one homer sailed out of the park in the Pro Cup playoffs... Today five longballs accounted for all the runs in Volusia's 5-3 victory over Eastshore in 10 innings to even the RU Elite 8 at one game apiece... C Tubby Tarkanian (.111) and 1B Ernie Pryor (.556) boomed solo shots to cap the win... 3B Antonio Diaz (.222) and 2B Riley O'Day also slammed homers for the Vigilantes.

Eastshore was shutout until the bottom of the ninth when they got new life on a 3-run belt by 3B Glenn Fields (.500) off reliever Lou Page... V's starter Jacy Chandler shut out the Elegants for 7 and one-third innings on 6 hits... Page (1-1) got the victory despite blowing the save in the ninth... Volusia outhit Eastshore 10 to 8... Pryor and O'Day had 3 hits each for the Vigilantes, while 2B Johnny Petrak (.400) drilled 3 for the Elegants and Fields had 2... Don Klingenberg (0-1) went the distance in defeat, gave up 10 hits and all 5 runs in 10 innings.

Stanek HR Ties Series, Crushers Prevail 4-3 in 11
Two late-inning home runs saved the day for the Crystal Lake Crushers, who powered by underdog Ranford 4-3 in 11 innings to gain a split in the RU Elite Series... the Bulls seemed well on their way to another victory, but couldn't hold a 3-2 lead in the ninth... the Crushers tied it up on a pinch homer by Nick Shafer, then won it two innings later on C Stan Stanek's blast off losing pitcher Kris Webb (0-1).

Both starters pitched well... Ranford's Jimmy Collins worked 8 impressive innings and held Crystal Lake to just 2 hits and 2 runs, while fanning 5 and issuing 3 bases on balls... the Crushers' Denny Mills worked 9 innings, gave up 3 runs on 9 hits with 4 walks and 6 Ks... Mills was tagged for a 3-run first inning smash by 3B Alex Vanno, but nothing else for the next 8 frames... reliever Sonny Marsh (1-0) was the winner... he hurled 2 scoreless innings.

Stanek (.375) topped the Lakers with 2 hits and 2 RBIs... Ranford was led by C Kyle Hunt (.500) with 3 hits and LF Ricky Urbina (.300) with 2.

Tycobbian Union Elite 8 Series

SA Slips By NH 3-2, Pilar Gains Split
At the Hawk's Nest in North Hills, two 20-game winners went at in grand style as San Alejo's Pablo Pilar bested North Hills' Jeff Owens 3-2 to gain a split in the TU Elite 8 Series... Pilar (1-0) tossed 8 strong innings, allowing only 2 runs on 7 hits, striking out 5 and walking 2... closer Ollie Olivares registered the save with a perfect bottom of the ninth... Owens (0-1) caught the loss... he permitted only 2 earned runs and 7 hits in 8-plus frames with 3 walks and 5 strikeouts.

Montanero 1B Steve Daniels (.250) homered in the top of the eighth for the eventual winning run... that gave San Alejo a 3-1 lead... RF Walt King (.333) and SS Joseph Baxter (.500) paced the Monties' with 2 hits each, while LF Adam Thurgood (.625) and 3B Dean O'Donnell (.714) garnered 2 hits apiece for the Hawks.

Braves Batter Blue Jays 14-1 In Game 2
The Chicopee Braves took the first two games of the TU Elite 8 Series on the road... they routed Tuckanarra 14-1 with blistering 17-hit attack to go up two games to none in the best-of-seven affair... C Augie Meaux (.714) collected 3 hits and 4 RBIs to lead the way... pitcher Kajika Fleetwood (.600), LF Charley Kota (.333) and 3B Kurt Gustavsen (.444) also chipped in with 3 hits and 2 RBIs each.

In a complete game Fleetwood (1-0) had a sharp outing, holding the Tucks to one run on 8 hits with 2 walks and 4 strikeouts... rookie right-hander Junior Bristow suffered the loss, lasting into the sixth... Bristow was tagged for 7 runs on 8 hits... 7 runs in the eighth totally finished off the Blue Jays.
