IPA PRO CUP SERIES: Game 1 at Middlefield Park in Middlefield
WALLACE SHACKLES ROOSTERS IN OPENER
Coming into the IPA Pro Cup Finals, it was being built as a battle between two juggernaut, high-powered offenses... pitchers weren't given much chance for survival... and then comes along Ralph Wallace (2-3/4.93)... in the opening game of the Pro Cup Series at Middlefield Park, the East Point veteran right-hander fired a 6-0 shutout, stopping the powerful Middlefield Roosters on just five singles... the game was a scoreless duel between 21-game winner Wallace and 26-game winner James Long for the first six frames, then C Kenny Bailey (.286/16 RBI) torched Long for a three-run homer in the top of the 7th to snap the tie... the Panthers really put the Roosters away with three more scores in the 8th... Bailey drove in 5 runs in the game... Long (1-3/3.55) lost it,.. he allowed three runs on five hits, while fanning five batters and walking none.
