2006 Islandian Pro Alliance Pro Cup Series - Elite 8

Ruthlandian Union

Valka Trims Claxton 2-1 for 1st Elite 8 Win
Just like they did three days ago Valka needed a win in the worst way and Aato Neetar got it for them. Neetar won the fifth game of the Sweet 16 and kept the Blackhawks alive in the Pro Cup playoffs and he did it again today at Avalon Stadium in Claxton. Neetar stopped hot-hitting Claxton 2-1 to keep Valka in the postseason. A loss would have sent them home for the year. The victory narrowed the Diamonds lead to 2-1 in the Elite 8 Series.

It was an excellent pitching duel between Neetar and Dennis Scott. Neetar (2-1 2.18) limited Claxton to one unearned run and four hits in his eight and two-thirds innings. He chalked up six Ks and walked two, but needed closer Kaito Oras (0-0 2.28) to save it for him. Oras relieved with a 2-0 lead, two outs and two runners on, but committed an error that allowed the Diamonds their first run of the game. With the tying run on second Oras fanned SS Jimmy Marciunas for the final out of the game. The Blackhawks got their only runs in the seventh on a two-run single by Neetar (.375), who is also a fine hitter. Scott (1-1 2.65) worked a fine game, yielding only two runs on seven hits, while fanning seven and walking three in eight innings. Valka had the edge in hits 8 to 4.

Claxton will get another chance to finish off Valka tomorrow afternoon in Claxton. If needed, game five will be played in Valka at Cybertel Park.

Elnora Homers Past V's 6-4, Trails by a Game
At home at State Fair Park, Elnora finally broke into the win column in the Elite 8 Series with Volusia. The All-Stars powered past the Vigilantes 6-4 with three home runs and now trail two games to one. 2B Johnny Zumwalt (.150) slapped a two-run shot in the third inning, 3B Dmitri Vrotsos (.360) got a solo homer in the fourth and C Todd Simons (.300) hit the eventual game-winner with a three-run salvo in the fifth. The homers put Elnora up 6-1 and they held on to win. Warren Paul (1-0 3.97) got the win with help from Harry Dye, who allowed no runs in his one and two thirds innings of relief. Tony Hartwig (0-1) was the loser. He was tagged for six runs in four-plus innings. Volusia outhit Elnora 11 to 8. RF Briscoe Crowder (.276) paced the Vigilantes with a two-run homer.

Elnora will try to even up the best-of-five series at two games each tomorrow afternoon at home. Should the series go five games, the finale will be held in Volusia at the Jailhouse.

Tybobbian Union

Turon Takes Lead Over Cape Coral 7-2 in Game 3
The Turon bats woke up in the late innings and whacked Cape Coral 7-2 at Seaside Stadium to take a 2-1 lead in games in the Elite 8 Series. One more victory and the Typhoons will advance to the Pro Cup Final 4. LF Bruce Boatman (.308) went 3-5 with two doubles, two RBIs and two runs scored to top the hitters and James Longstreet (2-1 1.04) hurled a complete game to spark Turon. Longstreet walked six, but held the Hurricanes to just two runs on seven hits. Cape Coral took a 1-0 lead on LF Paul Phelps (.278) solo homer in the fourth inning, but Turon got to work on loser Ronald Blevins (0-2 8.71) with three runs in the sixth and seventh to seal his fate. The Typhoons totaled 11 hits overall.

Game four is scheduled for Cape Coral. Should a fifth game be necessary, it will be played in Turon's Typhoon Stadium.

Viks Take Lead in Elite 8, Clip Champs 7-4
Playing in the friendly confines of Downtown Plaza Stadium, the Bayview Vikings went one-game up on Arlon in the Elite 8 Series. The Vikings clipped the Champs 7-4 in game three to take the lead two games to one. Bayview was led by 1B Chancey Quibedeaux (.200) with two hits, two runs and two RBIs, including a home run that proved to be the winning runs in the fifth inning. That put the Viks up 6-1. LF Kelton Carpenter (.226) also had a home run and scored twice and SS Kris Benson (.310) drove in a pair of runs.

Charlie Tubbs (1-1 4.91) struggled with his control but came out the winner. Tubbs went the route and permitted only four hits, but walked six. LF Rocco Belasario (.400) got to him for a solo roundtripper in the fourth frame and 1B Jay Dunbar (.321) cracked a three-run job in the eighth to get Arlon back in the ball game 6-4. The defeat went to Kurt DeHaan (0-2 6.75), who was belted for six runs in six innings.

Game four is slated for Bayview tomorrow, while game five, if needed, will be Friday in Arlon at Derby Downs.
