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

Tycobbian Union

MIRACLE TUCKS TAME CHICOPEE 5-0 IN GAME 7
In a miraculous comeback from the dead, the Tuckanarra Blue Jays captured the final four games of the Tycobbian Union Elite 8 Series from the Chicopee Braves, taming them 5-0 in the game-seven finale in Tuckanarra... Bobby Reid (1-1/3.92) was brilliant with 10 strikeouts... he walked 3 and limited Chicopee to 6 hits... the Blue Jays were led at the plate by 3B Lynn Starr (.176), who belted a 3-run homer in the opening frame, and RF Spade Weldon (.355) with a solo salvo in the second... the Tucks won the series four games to three and will now take on top-seeded San Alejo in the TU Finals.

The losing pitcher was Byron Wilson (1-1/5.00), who was ripped for 5 runs and 5 hits in 4-plus innings.

It was an unbelievable turnaround for Lefty Stevens' club, who were outmatched in the first three games. Stevens told reporters, "This is remarkable... Chicopee made us look so bad in the first three games... I never expected to beat them four in a row... you just can't do that to a team as good as the Braves... but hey, we did it... when our pitchers do the job, we win."

Dejected Braves manager Ivan Burkholder said, "We played so well in the first three games, then we tanked at the plate the last four."

Tuckanarra now has another huge assignment in the Tycobbian Finals... the third-seeded Blue Jays will now go head-to-head with the team favored to take the Pro Cup this year, the San Alejo Montaneros, who led the IPA with 100 wins this year and just eliminated last year's winner North Hills in a four-game sweep.
