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

Ruthlandian Union Final 4 Series

Webb Masters Crushers 2-1, V's Lead Series
In game three of the Ruthlandian Union Final 4 at the Jailhouse in Volusia, the Vigilantes got a masterful mound job from Marv Webb, who throttled Crystal Lake 2-1 on 6 hits to give the underdog V's a two to one edge in the series... Webb (1-1/6.00) only surrendered a solo homer in his 8 and one-third innings... closer Alvaro Branco got the final two outs for his first save of the playoffs.

Crystal Lake got its only score in the fourth on a homer by C Stan Stanek (.353)... that was his third in the postseason... Stanek has 8 RBIs... trailing 1-0 in the fifth, Volusia tallied the game-winning runs on a double by SS Mel Deloy (.138), who advanced to third on a sacrifice, then scored on a base hit by LF Stan Kovachuk (.357)... a single by 3B Antonio Diaz moved Kovalchuk to third... the eventual game-winning came in on C Tubby Tarkanian's (.300) RBI single.

Volusia chalked up 7 hits in the game with Diaz getting 3 of them... Crystal Lake got 6 hits... Douglas Merrill (1-1/2.25) only had one bad inning, but it cost him... Merrill permitted 7 hits and 2 runs and went all the way, striking out 4 and issuing 3 walks.

Tycobbian Union Final 4 Series

Braves 4 HRs Trample Hawks 9-3 For Series Lead
On a cloudy and rainy day in North Hills it was raining down homers from heaven as the Chicopee Braves unleased a 4-homer, 15-hit attack on the hapless hometown Hawks to take a two games to one lead in the Tycobbian Final 4... Chicopee got good pitching, too, from a pair of hurlers... Heyota Chaska started and worked the first 4 frames and then was relieved by Mark Reeves after a long rain delay... Chaska allowed 2 runs on 3 hits, while Reeves gave up only one unearned run in his 5 innings... Reeves (1-0/0.00) registered the win.

The Braves got roundtrippers from LF Charley Kota (.281), 2B Tom Goodwin (.308), Kurt Gustavsen (.387) and C Augie Meaux (.385)... Chicopee had failed to go deep in the first 7 games of the postseason... SS Felix Roubique (.400) topped them with 3 hits and 3 runs... Kota, Meaux and CF Alfredo Cobos (.294) each drove in a pair of runs... C Mikhail Romanovsky (.343) had 2 hits and 2 RBIs for the Hawks in defeat... Kota has driven in 9 runs in the playoffs.
