2035 IPA Pro Cup Series - Game 4

TUCKS TAKES THIRD PRO CUP, SWEEP ELNORA
Playing at home, Tuckanarra's ace Bobby Reid hurled the Blue Jays to the third Pro Cup title in the club's history... Reid sat down the Elnora bats on 6 hits as he went the distance in the 5-2 victory in game four of the Pro Cup Finals... the Tucks swept all four games in the series... it was Reid's fifth triumph in the playoffs after he went 20-8 during the regular season... Reid (5-1/2.65) fanned 9 All-Stars and walked 4... He blanked Elnora until they scored 2 runs in the ninth... Timmy Stevens, Cobar Madija and Spade Weldon sparked the Blue Jays' 9-hit attack with 2 hits each.

Three consecutive singles by C Timmy Stevens (.406), CF Cobar Madija (.421) and RF Spade Weldon (.329) in the opening inning put the first run on the scoreboard for Tuckanarra... later in the same frame 1B Josh George (.297) made it 2-0 with a sac fly... Stevens drove in run number three on a fielder's choice in the second... the Blue Jays tacked on single runs in the seventh and eighth... Stevens tripled and was driven in by Madija's single to make it 4-0... Reid (.211) plated the fifth run with an RBI double... Reid had a 3-hit shutout going into the ninth when he was tapped for 3 singles... 1B Charley Taylor (.270) got the first run in on a bases-loaded walk... run number two came in via pinchhitter Pasha Yablonski's (.100) groundout... the losing pitcher was Jeremy Sellers (3-4/3.31), who also pitched a complete game... Reid also beat Sellers 4-2 in the first game of the series.

"It was a magical year for us," said a happy Lefty Stevens, manager of the Blue Jays. "To finally win the Pro Cup again is truly wonderful... this is a magnificent group of guys... not only do we have great pitching, we got a bunch of fine hitters, too... never in all of my dreams did I think we would beat such a great team as Elnora in four straight games."

A disappointed Leon Carter told the press, "You got to give it to the Blue Jays... when they needed the pitching, they got it and when they needed the hitting, they got it... they outpitched us and outhit us, too."

The Tucks' third Pro Cup championship tied them for second place for the most IPA crowns... Far Mountain won three straight 2011 to 2013... the Blue Jays were also winners in 2023 and 2024... the Turon Typhoons of the Tycobbian Union have the most IPA Pro Cups... they reigned supreme in 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2018... two-time champions include the Eastshore Elegants in 2016 and 2017, Crystal Lake Crushers in 2020 and 2022 and Rolling Hills Reds in 2029 and 2031... Turon has the lead for most Pro Cup appearances with 6, followed by 5 by Tuckanarra and Ozarka... Crystal Lake and Far Mountain have made the Finals on 4 occasions... Elnora has never won a Pro Cup in its 5 tries.
