2036 IPA Pro Cup Final 4 Series

Tycobbian Union

BRAVES REMAIN ALIVE, TOP HAWKS 10-9 IN 12 INNINGS
It took a lot for the Chicopee Braves to remain alive in game five of the Tycobbian Union championship series... the Braves had to overcome 17 hits and 12 walks to finally subdue North Hills 10-9 in 12 innings... the win narrowed the Hawks' lead to three games to two... PH Rich Nellis got the winning run in with a deep liner to center.

Chicopee started like a ball of fire and had a 9-3 lead after 4 innings, but North Hills rebounded with 5 in the sixth and a tying-run in the ninth to send the game into overtime... outhit 17 to 11 the Braves were led at the plate by 3B Cooter Whitter (.313), who swatted a grand-slam homer... LF Alfredo Cobos (.408), who tripled in 2 runs and now has 20 RBIs in the postseason... 2 more and Cobos will tie the IPA playoff mark... and RF Iron Jacket Chandler (.333), who doubled in 2 runs... Cobos had 3 hits and 2B Todd Goodwin (.255) had 2 hits to top the Braves.

The Hawks biggest bats were 2B Kiril Ivonoski (.500), RF Gerry Rice (.423), and C Mikhail Romanovsky (.300), all with 3 hits apiece... RF Adam Thurgood (.233) slugged a 3-run homer and 1B Ric Hamilton (.326) and SS Norris Henry (.333) poked solo roundtrippers... and pinchhitter Marshall Caine (.500) delivered a 2-run triple.

The fifth Brave pitcher Jacy Hekaka (1-0/1.80) worked 4 and two-thirds innings for the victory, permitting just one run on 4 hits... the Hawks' fifth hurler David Michael (0-1/9.00), who came on in the 12th was the loser... a walk to SS Felix Roubique (.314) and single by C Joel Gamble (.237) put runners on the corners and set the stage for Nellis' (.000) game-winning fly ball.

Should they be needed, games six and seven will be played at the Hawk's Nest in North Hills... game six is tomorrow afternoon... Byron Wilson (13-10/4.12) is the Chicopee starter and David Michael (20-18/3.42) got the assignment for North Hills... Wilson has been the Braves' best starter in the postseason with a 2-0 and an outstanding 1.62 ERA... Michael has been in the bullpen for the Hawks and has pitched only one inning and has an 0-1 mark... Michael got the start instead of Nelson Hooper (21-7/3.06), who has been terrible in the playoffs with an 0-2 record and a horrendous 6.59 ERA in his 2 starts.
