2035 IPA Pro Cup Final 4 Series

Ruthlandian Union

ELNORA RU CHAMP, CRUSHES WALESKA 13-2 IN GAME 7
In game seven of the Ruthlandian Union Final 4 Series the Elnora All-Stars rose to the occasion and put together an almost-perfect game to crush the Waleska Westerners 13-2 with strong bats and strong pitching... the All-Stars took the seven-game series four games to three... Elnora will now advance to the IPA Pro Cup Finals against the Tycobbian winner, the Tuckanarra Blue Jays.

Elnora pounded Westerner pitching for 19 hits and scored runs in the first 6 frames... SS James Couch (.348) led the way with 3 RBIs, while C Jan Kobak (.313) with 2 and pitcher Jeremy Sellers (.100) drove in a pair each... 2B Akihiro Samurakami (.314) paced them with 4-for-4 and scored 3 runs... and RF Travis Glass (.317), LF Clint Thomas (.239) and CF Clive Kenyon all had 3 hits each... Glass poled the game's only roundtripper, his second in the playoffs... Jeremy Sellers (3-2/2.78) came through with a solid outing, stopping Waleska on 7 hits with 4 Ks and 2 walks in 8 innings... and reliever John Kaltenbach pitched in with a runless ninth... Terry Richards (1-2/4.32) was victimized for 8 runs and 10 hits in less than 4 innings for the loss.

Celebrating at the postgame press conference Elnora's manager Leon Carter said, "It was a very tough series with a very fine team... Waleska is as good a team as we will play this year... they gave us almost more than we could handle... fortunately, we played almost flawlessly in game seven to finally get past them... and now we have to do it one more time to win the Pro Cup... but I think my team is poised and ready to go... Elnora will proudly represent the Ruthlandian Union and hopefully bring the Pro Cup back our neck of the woods like we did two years ago." The All-Stars were the IPA champion in 2033, topping the East Point Panthers in seven games.

Waleska skipper Roy Hobbs lamented, "We picked the wrong game to play badly and that cost us dearly... our season is over, but it was a good one... congratulations to Leon and Elnora... the best of luck to them against Tuckanarra... I'll be pulling for the All-Stars."

The Islandian baseball title will be up for grabs beginning three days from now... the Pro Cup Finals will open up in Elnora at State Fair Park. The All-Stars have the homefield advantage... they compiled a 98-56 record during the regular season, while Tuckanarra was 97-57. Elnora is the second seeded team in the playoffs and the Blue Jays are seeded number three... most baseball analysts forecast a real dogfight between the two clubs with a seven-game series very likely.
