2020 IPA Pro Cup Series: Game 4
(best-of seven)

Welch Whitewashes Nats, CL Closes In On Pro Cup
Duncan Welch did it again... Crystal Lake's ace southpaw whipped the tough Ozarka Naturals for the second time in the series, blanking them 6-0 on a 5-hitter in game four of the Pro Cup Finals, striking out 6 with 2 walks... playing at home at Lakeshore Stadium, the Crushers took a huge step toward the team's first Pro Cup championship... Crystal Lake now has a 3-1 advantage in the series and can wrap up its first Pro Cup title tomorrow afternoon. It will be played on the Crushers home grounds.

What a year it has been for Welch... He is 6-1 with 2.33 ERA in the playoffs... during the season Welch led the IPA with a superb 2.00 ERA and posted a 24-12 won-loss mark... Welch again got the best of Benny Osterman (2-3 2.39), who was slapped around for 10 hits and 6 runs in his 7 innings... however, only 3 of them were earned... Ozarka committed 4 errors in the game... Welch won game one 3-2.

SS Jimmy Bell (.228) and C Eddie Robertson (.309) led the Crushers with a couple of RBIs each... Robertson, 1B Phil Gravelli (.364) and 3B Herb Buck (.239) socked 2 hits apiece... Ralph McCullough (2-1 4.25) will try to nailed down the Pro Cup tomorrow afternoon... Yuka Nawajuk (3-1 2.51) will try to keep the Nats Pro Cup aspirations alive... McCullough defeated Nawajuk 5-3 in game two.
