2011 IPA Pro Cup Series - Game 4 at Far Mountain
Ozarka Crushes FM 10-3, Close To Pro Cup Title
The surprising Ozarka Naturals did it again... They crushed Far Mountain 10-3 in game 4 of the IPA Pro Cup Series and are now the odds-on favorite to take the Island baseball crown... Ozarka has won all 7 of its road games in the playoffs... The Nats now are in the driver's seat with a 3 games to 1 lead in the best-of-seven series... One more win and Joe Mac Carney and his crew will be the 2011 IPA champions... Ozarka pounded out 12 hits off 3 Redhawk pitchers, led by LF Vic Weinstein (.364) with 3 hits, including two doubles and a home run... Weinstein scored 3 times and batted in 4 runs, giving him 12 for the postseason... SS Nathan Ferrell (.340) also delivered 3 hits, scored three runs and drove in one... and 1B Al Wesner (.255) chipped in two RBIs... Carney needed a good game from Tyrus Yokum and he got it... Yokum (4-2 3.40) only surrendered one earned run and hurled a complete game... He was touched for 9 hits, fanned 3 and walked 4... Robby Kelly (3-1 3.24) was hit hard and lost for the first time in this year's playoffs... The Nats battered Kelly for 7 runs and 8 hits in 7-plus innings... Ozarka took charge of the game in the fourth with 4 runs... They led 4-2 after 4 and really went to work with one run in the seventh, 3 in the eighth and 2 more in the ninth.
