2035 IPA Pro Cup Series - Game 3

BLUE JAYS WIN GAME 3, OUTSCORE ALL-STARS 10-7
The bats were blazing in game three of the IPA Pro Cup Finals at Tuckanarra, where the Blue Jays outscored Elnora 10-7 to take an overwhelming 3-0 lead in the best four out of seven series, needing only one more win to claim the team's third Pro Cup crown... both high-powered offenses pounded each other's pitching at will in the slugfest... the Tucks totaled 14 hits to Elnora's 13 in a close game where no lead was safe... the Blue Jays bolted to a 4-1 lead after 2 innings... Elnora cut it to 4-3 in the third... Tuckanarra jolted the All-Stars for 3 more in the fourth, only to have the All-Stars battle back to tie it at 7-7 in the sixth with 4 more scores... the Blue Jays went back ahead with a run in the last of the sixth on Pancho Villa's (.313) game-winning base hit... and added 2 insurance runs in the eighth.

Leading the Tuckanarra hit brigade were RF Spade Weldon (.315) with 3 hits and 3 RBIs, including his second homer of the playoffs, LF Lorne Evans (.274) with a 2-run double and 1B Josh George (.311) with 2 hits and 2 runs batted in... C Timmy Stevens (.400) had 2 hits, 2 walks and scored 4 times... and 2B Eddie Darby (.298) delivered 2 hits, scored 2 runs and drove in a run with a triple... the All-Stars were paced by RF Travis Glass (.327) and SS James Couch (.305) with 2 RBIs apiece... 2B Samurakami (.308), CF Clive Kenyon (.509), 3B Danny Bierhoff (.393), and C Jan Kobak (.429) continued to blitz the Blue Jays staff with 2 hits each... good bullpen work saved the day for Tuckanarra... five Blue Jays held Elnora hitless over the last 2 and two-thirds innings after starter Rudy Rosario had been tagged for 13 hits and 7 runs in his 6 and one-third innings... 3 of the runs against Rosario were earned... Rosario still got credit for the victory and is now 3-1 in the postseason with a 2.08 ERA... reliever Jesus Robles (1-2/3.12) suffered the loss for the All-Stars as he went 4 innings and allowed 2 runs on 4 hits.

History is on the side of the Blue Jays... only once in the 35-year history of the IPA has a team recovered from a 3-0 deficit in the Finals and won the Pro Cup... Tuckanarra did it in 2009 when they stunned the Far Mountain Redhawks in a miraculous comeback.
