2049 IPA PRO CUP SERIES - Game 2
VALMARA'S GRAJEK HURLS 10-0 GEM IN GAME 2
Valmara pitching got the worst of it in dropping the first game of the IPA Pro Cup Finals, but came alive in the second game behind the brilliant work of Darus Grajek, who blanked the hard-hitting White River Rascals 10-0 on a four-hitter... Grajek (3-1/2.70), 21-9 during the regular season, struck out five and walked two in evening up the series at one game each... the Vipers pounded Butch Slattery and Keil Trickett for 15 hits with the defeat going to starter Slattery (2-2/5.08), who was ripped for 12 hits and eight runs in just four plus innings.
C Karol Koska (.222) and CF Don Ritchie (.409) smashed solo homers for Valmara... it was Koska's fifth in the postseason and number two for Ritchie... Ritchie collected four hits, backed up by 3B Justin Roscoe (.362) with three... and SS Ken Jensen (.407) and 2B Jose Vargas (.340) chipped in with two hits apiece... Ritchie scored three runs and batted in four... Roscoe drove in a pair and now has 18 in the playoffs this year... the league record is 23 by Southport's Barney Lewis in 2044... Vargas and RF Boyd Holmes (.356) also had two RBIs for the Vipers.
