2034 Pro Cup Final Series - Game 1
(best-of-seven)

Hawks Hold On In Pro Cup Opener, Michael Wins 5-4
Slight underdog North Hills ran up an early 5-2 margin in the first four frames and held off a Crystal Lake rally in the late innings to take the Pro Cup opener at home at the Hawk's Nest 5-4... David Michael, unbeaten in the postseason, chalked up his sixth victory with a sluggish, but effective performance... Michael allowed 11 singles and 4 runs, but survived... he walked 2 and fanned 4 in a route-going outing... Michael, the IPA leader with 26 wins, bested 21-game winner Arnie Cason (2-3/3.30), who was the victim of 5 runs and 10 hits in just 5 innings.

The Hawks collected 11 hits overall and were led by SS Norris Henry (.333) with 2 hits and 2 RBIs... LF Adam Thurgood (.450), 3B Dean O'Donnell (.362) and CF Dan Finch (.207) also chipped in with 2 hits apiece with Thurgood and 2B Kiril Ivonoski (.264) driving in runs... the Crushers had 11 hits and were paced by RF Pat Dillon (.286), CF Teke Holmes (.302), 1B Big Sam Takota (.235) and 3B Willie Burke (.405) each getting a pair of hits. Dillon, Takota, SS Mackie Cummings (.280) and pinchhitter Roger Haley (.167) drove in runs for the Crushers.

Crystal Lake LF Herm Taylor was hit on the foot by a pinch ball in the seventh and had to be removed from the game. Doctors reported after the game that his foot was fractured and Taylor will miss the rest of the Pro Cup Series. Taylor is hitting .298 in the playoffs this year. During the season he was a .276 hitter.
