RACERS OFF TO ROARIN' START, WIN 3RD STRAIGHT
The Rolling Hills Racers are playing at a dazzling pace in the Islandian Pro Alliance Pro Cup Series... in their third straight victory, the Racers hit the cover off the ball and got
some standout pitching in the 11-1 routing of the dazed Fort Benton Cannons... at the plate Ollie Ringer stood out with 4 hits and 3 RBIs, Emmett Spangler went 3 for 5
and scored 3 times and Deke Cronin and Art Horn drove in a pair of runs apiece... overall the Racers racked up 13 hits, while Linc Dickens throttled the Cannons on 6 hits.
he walked just one batter and fanned 6 in a route-going performance.
Rolling Hills is nearing its 9th Pro Cup Trophy... one more victory and it's theirs again... Fort Benton has a very daunting task before them... the Cannons must win four
straight games to garner the revered trophy... it has only occurred three times in 79 years of IPA history... in 2001 Ginza did it against the Fairfax Frogs in the first round... in
2009 Turon rallied against the Far Mountain Redhawks in the Pro Cup Finals... and in 2015 Bay St. Clair came back and beat the Ozarka Naturals in opening-round action.
Games four and five are also slated at Midtown Base Ball Grounds in Rolling Hills... if needed, the last two games will be played in Fort Benton.
