CANNONS BOMB RACERS IN GAME 5, CUT LEAD TO 3-2 IN PRO CUP FINALS
Rolling Hills jumped out to a quick 5-2 lead in the fifth game of the IPA Pro Cup Series and were well on their way to their 9th Pro Cup crown, but lo and behold, the Fort
Benton Cannons began to roar and when the bombs stopped bursting in air, they had demolished the Racers 12-6 and cut their deficit to three games to two in the
best-of-seven series... now the Cannons are alive and kicking and have a fighting chance to win their first Pro Cup Trophy... games six and seven are scheduled for their
home field, Old Fortress Park on Friday and Saturday afternoons.
The Cannons were booming, their bats were blazing... they smashed 19 hits in the game, sparked by Trace Lansing with 2 hits, a double, 3-run homer and 4 RBIs, Cloyce
Farmer with 3 hits and 3 ribbies, including a solo roundtripper and 2-run double, Olev Kotli socked 4 hits and scored 3 runs and Stosh Dusek added 3 singles... Fort Benton
went to town on the Rolling Hills bullpen with 7 runs in the top of the 7th to shoot ahead 10-5 and extend the Pro Cup Series for another day.
Fort Benton reliever Monty Gulliver gained the victory with one and two-thirds scoreless innings, while the loss went to Rolling Hills closer Benton Garrett, who was bashed
for all 7 runs in the fatal 7th frame.
