FAIRCLOUGH HALTS RACERS RUN, CANNONS STILL TRAIL 3-1 IN PRO CUP SERIES
Fort Benton's Noah Fairclough hurled one of the best games of his IPA career at the Midtown Base Ball Grounds in Rolling Hills... the right-hander kept Rolling Hills from
sweeping the Pro Cup Series... he stopped the Racers 5-1 to cut their series lead to three games to one in the best-of-seven series... in a strong outing Fairclough tossed
7 and two-thirds strong innings, holding the hard-hitting Racers to just one unearned run and 4 hits... he whiffed 6 of them and issued just 2 bases on balls.
The Cannons collected 11 hits in the game, scored 5 runs in the first 4 frames and were never really challenged by Rolling Hills... Dwight Hogan led them with 3 hits and
2 RBIs... Cloyce Farmer chimed in with a pair of hits and 2 runs batted in.
Georgie Adams absorbed the defeat... Fort Benton belted him for 5 runs and 9 hits in his 5 frames.
Game five is set for Rolling Hills, too.
To win their first Pro Cup Trophy, Fort Benton will have win the rest of the games in the series... it has only happened one time previously in Pro Cup history... Turon came
back from a 3-0 deficit in 2009 and whipped the Far Mountain Redhawks.
