2028 IPA Pro Cup Finals

Blue Jays Force 7th Game With 9-6 Win
Favored Tuckanarra rose to the occasion and will live to fight another day... in game six of the IPA Pro Cup the Blue Jays forced game seven with a 9-6 triumph over Waleska... the series is tied at three games apiece with the deciding game coming up tomorrow afternoon at Central Park Stadium in Tuckanarra.

Despite an early 5-run lead after one inning, Tuckanarra still had to outlast the tough Westerners, who fought back to tie it up 6-6 after 3 innings... SS Jed Turchin (.395) broke the tie in the fourth with an RBI groundout... Tuckanarra then finished off Waleska with 2 additional runs in the seventh when Turchin doubled in another run and pinchhitter Danny Redd's (.211) sac fly got the last run in.

The Blue Jays bullpen saved the day with 6 scoreless innings... starter Sam Tate departed after 3 innings after yielding 6 runs on 7 hits... Philip Marston (3-0/3.60) stopped the Westerners on 2 hits over the next 4 frames for the win... Rob Howe and Gene O'Reilly shut down Waleska the last two innings... O'Reilly chalked up his 2nd save of the postseason... substitute starter Tucker Wilton was ripped right out of the gate for 6 runs in one and two-thirds innings, but he didn't get the loss... it went to Cliff Dyer (1-2/5.67), who allowed 3 runs in 5-plus innings, though he struck out 7 batters.

Turchin led the Blue Jays at the plate with 2-4, 2 runs and 3 RBIs... Turchin leads the postseason with 20 runs batted in... CF Terry Jasper (.308) and LF Bill Moody (.317) also chipped in with 2 RBIs each... RF Roy Hobbs (.325) was the big bat for the Westerners with 2 hits, including a grand slammer in the third inning... it was his 4th roundtripper... Hobbs tops Waleska with 18 RBIs in the playoffs.

In tomorrow's Pro Cup finale, it will be both clubs' aces on the hill... Quinn Starr (4-3/3.92) will work for the hometown Blue Jays and Wild Bill Butler (3-4/4.18) will be up for the Westerners... During the regular season Starr was 25-10 with a 2.80 ERA and Butler was 23-10 with a 2.97 ERA.
