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

Ruthlandian Union

ELNORA EDGES WALESKA 4-3, EVENS SERIES
The Elnora All-Stars bounced back from an early deficit in the fourth game of the RU Final 4 at Westerner Field in Waleska to even up the best-of-seven series... the All-Stars fell behind 3-0 in the first inning, but they recovered to take a 4-3 victory... Travis Glass tied it up in the top of the sixth with a 2-run shot and Danny Bierhoff put them ahead with his RBI single... Jeremy Sellers (2-0/2.93) labored, but got the win... he was banged around for 14 hits, but only allowed 3 runs... Sellers stranded 13 baserunners... Freddy Pfeffer picked up his first save of the playoffs as he sat the Westerners down in order in the ninth, striking out two of them... losing pitcher Terry Richards (1-1/2.95) surrendered 9 hits and 4 runs, while walking one batter and fanning 5 in his 8 innings.

Glass (.333) and Bierhoff (.471) led the Elnora 10-hit attack with 2 hits and 2 RBIs each... CF Clive Kenyon also had 2 hits and scored a run... sparking Waleska were C Tony Brinkerhoff (.364) and 3B Dorak Aranda (.333) with 3 hits apiece... plus CF Jon Lassiter (.472), 2B Monty McMurtry (.342) and SS Rusty Adler (.313) all contributed 2 hits each... RF Niles Gregory (.313) drove in a pair of runs to lead the Westerners.

Tycobbian Union

TUCKS THRASH MONTIES 11-3 TO TIE SERIES
The bats were booming again for Tuckanarra... at home for game four the Blue Jays bombed San Alejo 11-3 riding the big bats of Timmy Stevens, Cobar Madija, Eddie Darby and Jim Cuervas... the Tucks rapped 15 hits in all and knotted up the TU Final 4 at two games each... game five is also slated for Central Park Stadium in Tuckanarra.

Stevens (.317) drove in 4 runs and went 2-for-5... Madija (.481) was 4-5 with 2 RBIs and 3 runs scored... Darby had 3 hits, scored 4 times and batted in a run... and Cuervas (.310) delivered 3 hits, scored a run and drove one in... SS Sancho Cruz (.323) was the Montaneros best bat with 3 hits and 2 RBIs... he had the game's only homer, his second in the playoffs... 2B Derek Kristensen (.412) chipped in with 3 hits in defeat.

Bobby Reid, the Tuckanarra starter, didn't have one of his best days, but he notched the victory... Reid (3-1/3.18) was tagged for 10 hits and 3 runs in his 6 and one-third innings... he walked 4 and posted 10 Ks... Jeff Buttrum finished up for him, blanking the Monties the last 2 and two-thirds innings... Johnny Brown (2-2/7.07) really took it on the chin and was kayoed after just 3 innings, giving up 9 runs and 9 hits.
