2042 IPA PRO CUP FINALS - Game Three at South Fork
STALLIONS STOMP BLASTERS 9-2, NEAR SWEEP
South Fork stood tall in the saddle again by stomping Colfax 9-2 for their third consecutive win in the Pro Cup Series... one more Stallion victory and the Pro Cup will be all theirs... 6' 6" Big Murph McAlister (1-2/4.41) put down the big bats of the Blasters for the third day in a row, holding them to just one run on five hits in his eight innings, while the Stallions were cracking 13 hits... red-hot Jess Wilkerson and Rick Carlton both delivered roundtrippers.
SS Wilkerson (.379) went 2-3 with a double and a homer and four RBIs... he leads the Pro Cup playoffs with five homers and 15 runs batted in... 3B Elton Jacoby (.277) rapped three hits, scored three times and had an RBI... 1B Paul Sexton (.317) smacked three hits as well... Carlton's (.274) homer was his second... it was a tight game for five innings as South Fork led with a run in the fourth, but then broke it wide open with five big ones in the sixth off losing pitcher Ron Paige (1-1/4.68).
