2035 IPA Pro Cup Final 4 Series
(best-of-seven)

Ruthlandian Union

WALESKA WALLOPS ELNORA 11-9 IN OPENER
Opening up on the road in Elnora didn't faze Waleska in game one of the Ruthlandian Union Final 4... the Westerners prevailed in a slugfest 11-9... Waleska ran up a 10-4 lead after six frames and then held off a strong rally by the All-Stars, who made it close with 5 runs in the seventh... the Westerners won despite being outhit 17-12... Elnora stranded 12 baserunners and Waleska racked up four double plays.

Terry Richards (1-0/2.03) started and got the win though he was pelted for 12 hits and permitted 4 runs in 6 innings... closer Earl Perkins nailed down the victory with 2 scoreless innings and 3 strikeouts... it was his second save in this postseason... it was a bad day for loser Jeremy Sellers (1-2/2.75), who was belted for 8 runs in 2-plus innings... leading the Westerner attack were rookie CF Jon Lassiter (.478) with 3-4 and 2 runs, 2B Monty McMurtry (.292) with 2-5, 2 runs and 2 RBIs and LF Loco Dillinger (.227) with 1-3, 2 runs and a run batted in... 3B Dorak Aranda (.294) homered, scored twice and drove in 2... RF Niles Gregory (.368) went 2-4, scored once and batted in a run... sparking the All-Stars were 2B Akihiro Samurakami (.385) with 2-5 and 5 RBIs... Samurakami slammed a 3-run clout and now has driven 10 runs in the playoffs... RF Travis Glass (.375) and 3B Danny Bierhoff (.476) each collected 4 hits... Glass scored 3 times and Bierhoff scored twice and batted in a pair of runs.

Tycobbian Union

TUCKS TROUNCE MONTIES 12-2 IN GAME 1
In a totally one-sided rout visiting Tuckanarra trounced Pro Cup favorite San Alejo 12-2 in the opening game of the Tycobbian Final 4 at the Casa de Beisbol... the game started off a pitcher's battle with the Tucks holding a 2-0 lead going into the seventh inning... then the Blue Jays went on a rampage scoring 10 runs in the final 3 frames... Tucknarra totaled 22 hits and were paced by RF Spade Weldon (.389) with 3 hits and 3 RBIs, CF Cobar Madija (.444) with 4 hits, 3 runs and 2 runs batted in, C Timmy Stevens (.296) was 2-6, scored a run and batted in 2... Madija and 1B Josh George (.258) had homers... starter Bobby Reid (2-1/2.93) notched the victory as he tossed 6 shutout innings, fanned 6 and walked 5, surrendering 6 hits... the losing pitcher was Johnny Brown (2-1/4.68), who was battered for 7 runs and 17 hits in 7 innings.
