2034 IPA Pro Cup Pro Cup Playoffs
(best-of-seven)

Ruthlandian Union Final 4 Series

CL Crushers Even Series On Shafer's Smash
Pinchhitter Nick Shafer snapped a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the eighth with a 2-run homer to pace Crystal Lake to a 5-3 triumph over Volusia in game two of the Ruthlandian Union Final 4 Series... the teams have now split the first two games at Trumpy Donald Stadium.

The Crushers picked up 11 hits and were led by RF Paul Dillon (.250) with 2 hits, a run and an RBI... Dillon went deep to start the game... 3B Willie Burke (.360) also had 2 hits and scored twice... Dennis Mills gave Crystal Lake a good start, holding Volusia to 2 runs and 8 hits in his 7 innings... Mills struck out 6, but was wild with 5 bases on balls... Eddie Lane (1-0) notched the victory with a 1-2-3 eighth and Sonny Marsh gained his second playoff save, but was tagged for a run in the ninth.

Jacy Chandler (0-2/4.91) held the Crushers in check until the seventh and the eighth... after six the Vigilantes were up 2-1... in a complete game Chandler gave up 5 runs on 11 hits, fanned 7 and walked 2... the V's banged out 12 hits with 1B Ernie Pryor (.361) and C Tubby Tarkanian (.297) delivering 3 hits each and batting in a run... CF Ernesto Andujar (.208) got Volusia's only home run... the series switches now to the Jailhouse in Volusia for the next three games.

Tycobbian Union

Ledbetter Gains Split, Braves Stop Hawks 3-1
Left-hander Ryan Ledbetter got the Braves back on track with a 3-1 win over North Hills at Brewster Street Park in Chicopee to split the first two games of the Tycobbian Final 4... Ledbetter worked into the eighth and departed with a 3-1 lead... reliever Byron Wilson came in and got the last four outs and his second postseason save... Ledbetter was touched for just one run on 7 hits with 6 Ks and a walk... Jeff Owens (0-2/3.86) went the route in defeat, allowing 3 runs and 8 hits.

LF Charley Kota (.286) had 2 RBIs for Chicopee with a sac fly and fielder choice... RF Nelson Hunter (.276) plated the Braves' third run with an RBI single in the fourth frame... and 2B Todd Goodwin (.222) doubled and tripled... the Hawks got their only score in the fifth on C Mikhail Romanovsky's (.313) solo shot... the clubs will now head up to North Hills for the next three games at the Hawk's Nest.
