2035 IPA Pro Cup Series - Game 2

BLUE JAYS UP BY 2, HOLD OFF ALL-STARS 7-5
Tuckanarra won its second straight in Elnora, holding off the All-Stars 7-5 to go up two games to none in the Pro Cup Finals... the Blue Jays piled up a 7-1 margin midway through the game and held on for the win... though he was not at his best against the highly-touted Elnora lineup, young Junior Bristow got the win in a rocky route-going performance... Bristow (3-1/3.14), the son of Hall-of-Fame hurler Titus Bristow, gave up 12 hits, but managed to survive with the help of 4 doubles plays and good run support... topping the Tucks' 10-hit attack were LF Lorne Evans with 2 doubles and 2 runs scored, 1B Josh George (.298) with a 2-run double and SS Narra Gilyinju (.303) with 3 hits, a run batted in and a run scored... and 3B Lynn Starr (.200) scored twice for the winners.

Elnora starter Stan Kivas (2-1/2.50) tasted defeat for the first time in the playoffs... he was whacked for 7 runs and 10 hits in his 5-plus innings... C Jan Kobak (.421), 3B Danny Bierhoff (.393) and 2B Akihiro Samurakami (.300) paced the All-Stars at the plate... Kobak was 3-for-3 with 2 doubles and 2 RBIs, Bierhoff drove in 2 runs with a pair of singles and Samurakami slapped 2 hits and scored a run.

Tuckanarra has done real well at Elnora's State Fair Park, copping both games... now they will head home to the even friendlier confines of Central Park Stadium and try to reel in the third Pro Cup in the club's history... manager Lefty Stevens is elated by the strong showing on the road, but told the press, "This series is a long way from over... Elnora is not going to roll over and play dead for us."

Elnora's skipper Leon Carter is optimistic that his club can get back in the series in spite of being on the road for the next three games, saying, "We play very well out of town, in fact, our road record is better than our home record." The All-Stars are 50-27 away from home and 48-29 at State Fair Park this year. Elnora is 5-1 away this postseason and 3-5 at home... in the playoffs the Blue Jays are 6-2 when traveling and only 4-3 on their home field... during the regular campaign Tuckanarra posted an outstanding 50-27 mark at Central Park Stadium and an impressive 47-30 record at the visitors' ball park.
