(best-of-seven)
Hawks Near Pro Cup, Michael Wins Again
He did it again!... David Michael hurled the North Hills Hawks to within one game of the IPA Pro Cup crown with a 6-1 decision over the Crystal Lake Crushers... Michael won his seventh game of the postseason that gave the Hawks a surprising three games to one lead... two 3-run homers made it easy for Michael... Kiril Ivonski put one out in the top of the fifth and Norris Henry did it again in the seventh.
Going the distance, Michael (7-0/1.96) stopped the Crushers on one run and 8 hits with one walk and 5 strikeouts, besting Arnie Cason (2-4/3.24) again... Cason was slammed for 6 runs in 6-plus innings... North Hills had a 10-8 hit advantage with Henry (.328) and Ivonoski (.303) totaling 3 hits each... 1B Skippy Shearer (.258) also added 2 hits and scored twice for the Hawks... in the ninth 3B Willie Burke (.396) belted a solo homer for the Crushers.
