2006 Islandian Pro Alliance Pro Cup Series - Sweet 16

The underdogs are having their day in the IPA Pro Cup playoffs so far. They have won 14 of the 16 games played. The only division champs to get wins have been Valka of the RU North and Turon of the TU South. They have split the first two games of the Sweet 16 Series. All the rest have fallen behind two games to none and are in danger of elimination in the best-of-five series.

Elnora Wins Game 2, Rips Roosters 10-5
For the second day in a row the underdog Elnora All-Stars ripped the Middlefield Roosters 10-5 to take an overwhelming two-game edge in the best-of-five Sweet 16 Series. The All-Stars only got eight hits, but they made them count. CF Sammy Marlaire got them going with a three-run shot in the opening inning to put them ahead 5-0. 3B Dmitri Vrotsos led Elnora with two hits and four RBIs. C Todd Simons also drove in a pair of runs. The victory went to starter Leland Shaddock (1-0), who allowed four runs in five-plus innings. Warren Paul bailed him out to preserve the win, permitting one run and two hits in his three and two thirds innings. The Roosters outhit the All-Stars with nine hits, paced by LF Zeb Baker and C Mike Kanjorsky with three hits each. 1B J. D. Earnshaw drove in three runs for Middlefield. Loser Denny Yarrow lasted only two-thirds of an inning and allowed five runs.

The RU West champion Middlefield Roosters are in a deep hole and are one game short of elimination. The Roosters were the overall favorites to take the Pro Cup crown this year. It is going to be quite a task to come back and win three games in a row.

V's Power Past Sugar Valley 9-5 with 3 Homers
The Volusia Vigilantes are not known for their home run power, but they showed it today at the Jailhouse. Three times the V's went deep to power past the Sugar Valley Rattlers 9-5 to go up two games to none in the best-of-five RU Sweet 16 Series. Volusia can finish them off with a win in Sugar Valley tomorrow afternoon. The Vigilantes were clinging to a 6-5 lead going into the bottom of the eighth when they erupted for three solo homers by SS Bobby Farias, CF Ryan Raines and 1B Bob Nash. Closer Harvey Hines was the victim of the blasts. Nash, 2B Scooter Perez and C Armando Villa all had two RBIs each. Hernando Espaderos (1-0) collected the win, going seven innings, allowing four runs on six hits, while fanning five and issuing no walks. Raul Sandoval picked up the save, but gave up a run in the eighth frame. Both clubs registered nine hits each. LF Austen Conover sparked the Roosters with two hits and two runs batted in.

Diamonds Drub Tars 10-3, Lead Series 2-0
The Claxton Diamonds are in the driver's seat. They drubbed the favored Taranto Tars 10-3 to take a two games to none lead in the best-of-five RU Sweet 16 Series. The Diamonds teed off on losing pitcher Anthony Nardone (0-1) and three other Taranto pitchers for 18 hits to easily win their second straight game. RF Jackie Allemand belted a grand slam in the third inning to put Claxton in front 7-0 and drove in five runs in all. CF Jackie Faust, 3B Bobby Ritter and 2B Mac Smith smacked three hits each for the victors. SS Jimmy Marciunas also homered. Charlie Murphy (1-0) got credit for the victory. He worked five and two-thirds innings before a rain delay forced him to head to the shower. Murphy fanned four, walked one and permitted two runs and three hits. Tetsunori Nakashima relieved him and went the final three and a third innings and gave up only one run. Taranto only got five hits in the game.

Vipers Booms 4 HR, Even Valka Series at 1-1
Valmara evened up its Pro Cup Sweet 16 Series with Valka at one game each in a best-of-five affair. The Vipers boomed four homers and 18 hits to crush the Blackhawks 11-1. 2B Floyd Vinson, SS Mike Ellefsen, RF Jet Kazmarek and C Erich Adamczyk walloped roundtrippers to lead the way. Kazmarek went 4-for-5 with four RBIs, Adamczyk had two hits and three RBIs and Vinson smacked three hits and batted in two in the romp. Andre Trepanier had a standout outing, holding Valka to just four hits and a run with four Ks and two bases on balls. Aato Neetar (0-1) was tagged with the loss after giving up four runs in just three innings. The series will now switch to Valka for games three and four. If needed game five will also be hosted by the Blackhawks at Cybertel Park.

Bayview Nips Ozarka 3-2 for Second Win in Series
The big bats of Bayview were not needed today at Downtown Plaza Stadium as Wally Tidwell worked a strong game and nipped the Ozarka Naturals 3-2. It was the Vikings second consecutive win in the Pro Cup Sweet 16. One more victory and Bayview will move ahead to the Elite 8. Tidwell (1-0) was at the top of his game. He held the Nats to two runs on seven hits, while fanning four and walking only two. However, Tidwell needed ninth-inning help from Josh Glover, who got the last three outs of the game. LF Kelton Carpenter put the Viks in front 2-1 with a two-run two-bagger in the third inning and CF Tommy Riddle made it 3-1 with an RBI single in the fifth. RF Ronnie Patterson put Ozarka on the scoreboard first with an RBI single in the second frame and CF Kermit Wiggins doubled in the Nats last run in the seventh. Karl Kleinert (0-1) worked six innings in defeat and was touched for three runs and eight hits.

Blue Jays Bump Off Champs 4-1, Spence Winner
Tuckanarra pitching again was too tough for the Arlon Champions. Roy Spence spun a splendid three-hitter to bump off Arlon 4-1 and put the Blue Jays ahead two games to none in the TU Pro Cup Sweet 16 playoffs. Spence (1-0) walked nobody and fanned seven in an excellent performance. 2B Owen MacArthur led the way with three hits and an RBI. SS Lee Thomson chipped in two hits and also batted in a run. Kurt DeHaan (0-1) suffered the loss, allowing four runs - only two earned - on nine hits in seven innings. Tuckanarra had the advantage in hits 10-3.

Oxford Falls to Hurricanes Again, CC Up 2-0
For the second day in a row Cape Coral pitching has been too tough for the Oxford Red Caps. Doug Lyons went the distance in the 6-2 triumph to give the Hurricanes a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five TU Sweet 16 Series. Lyons (1-0) allowed eight hits, but only two runs with two walks and five strikeouts. His teammates backed him with a 14-hit attack, led by 3B Kenny Hall, who had a perfect 4-for-4 day, including a home run. Cape Coral bashed loser Gregg Neal (0-1) for five runs and 11 hits in four-plus innings. He departed with the Hurricanes ahead 5-1. Red Cap SS Timmy Binford paced them with four hits.

Hartsdale Ties Sweet 16, Edges Turon 2-1
After two games at Pioneer Park in Hartsdale, the Hellcats and Turon Typhoons are tied at a game apiece in the Sweet 16 Series. Two 20-game winners matched up and Phil Reed outpitched James Longstreet 2-1. Reed (1-0) limited Turon to five hits, fanned four and walked just one, while Longstreet (0-1) tossed eight innings, gave up seven hits and only one earned run. He whiffed six and issued four bases on balls. All the scoring came in the first three innings. The Hellcats drew first blood in the bottom of the first when SS Jud Turchin led off with a triple and came in on CF Mac Faulkner's grounder to short. Turon got its only run of the game in the top of the second on C Todd Somerset's home run. Hartsdale got the winning run in the third when RF Mark Buchanan doubled, reached third on an infield error and came home on a passed ball. From then on Reed and Longstreet matched zero for zero.
