2035 IPA Pro Cup Elite 8 Series
(best-of-seven)

Ruthlandian Union

ELNORA TAKES VOLUSIA IN 5 GAMES
After dropping the opener in the Ruthlandian Elite 8, the Elnora All-Stars made quick work of the Volusia Vigilantes by winning the next four in a row... Stan Kivas finished off the V's 7-0 in game five, checking them on 7 hits... it was Elnora's second straight shutout.

The All-Star bats lit Volusia up for 11 hits, sparked by SS James Couch (.350) with a double, triple, 2 runs and 3 RBIs... CF Clive Kenyon (.412) added in 2 hits and 2 runs batted in... Fabio Medeiros (0-1/3.68) was tagged with the loss... he allowed 7 runs on 9 hits in 7-plus innings... Elnora busted up a tight 1-0 pitching duel with 5 runs in the seventh frame, highlighted by Couch's bases-loaded triple.

Volusia manager Alfonso told reporters, "We just didn't play well offensively like we did during the regular season... Elnora's pitching was pitcher perfect."

Leon Carter, skipper of the All-Stars, commented, "Our pitchers dominated a good hitting team... let's just hope they stay on a roll and keep doing it."

Elnora was seeded second in The Islandian Times Pro Cup poll, while Volusia was the number-eight seed. The All-Stars will have a tougher task in the next round when they tangle with the Waleska Westerners for the RU title. The Westerners swept LaGrange in the opening round. Waleska was the fourth seed, while the Sports were number seven.

Tycobbian Union

ROSARIO KEEPS TUCKS ALIVE, BLANKS BRAVES 4-0
Don't give up on the Tuckanarra Blue Jays just yet... down to their last loss of the season and on the verge of oblivion just two games ago, they have been rejuventated with back-to-back wins in the Tycobbian Union Elite 8 Series with Chicopee, who was ahead three-zero, but now finds themselves with a battle on their hands with their lead narrowed to three games to two... right-hander Rudy Rosario (1-1/0.50) was the latest Blue Jay savior... he fired a 4-0 shutout, limiting the hard-hitting Braves to just 4 hits, while fanning 5 and walking 3 batters.

For 8 innings Rosario and Chicopee starter Vito Sanfratello were engaged in a scoreless duel until the Tucks snapped it with a 4-run outburst in the top of the ninth... LF Lorne Evans (.263) broke the tie with an RBI single, CF Cobar Madija (.444) had a 2-run double and Rosario (.286) batted in the final run with a base hit... Sanfratello (1-1/4.00) permitted 10 hits, struck out 5 and walked one in a complete-game performance.

The series will now return to Tuckanarra for the rest of the seven-game series... the Braves' 30-year-old southpaw Ryan Ledbetter (12-13/3.42) will get the call from manager Ivan Burkholder... on the hill for the hometown Blue Jays will be 24-year-old right-hander Junior Bristow (22-11/2.51)... Ledbetter got the best of Bristow in game three, beating him 5-1.
