2014 IPA Pro Cup Final 4 Series
Sunbirds Fly By Colfax, Whitaker Cinches Series
It's been a long wait, but Belair Beach has finally made it to the Pro Cup Finals... Denny Whitaker shut out Colfax 3-0 in game 6 to win the RU Final 4 Series four games to two... Whitaker (3-0 2.45) limited the Blasters to just 4 hits, struck out 6 and walked 4... Rodger Wright (1-1 5.88) pitched well in defeat as he yielded only two earned runs and 7 hits in a complete-game performance... the Sunbirds got to him for single runs in the first, third and fourth frames... Belair Beach will play the winner of the Turon-Kenwood TU Final 4 for the Island championship... the Sunbirds have never advanced this far in the IPA playoffs.
Kenwood Knocks Out Turon 9-7 In Game 6
It will be the Kenwood Wildcats and the Belair Beach Sunbirds in the 2014 IPA Pro Cup Finals... The Wildcats came from behind to eliminate the Typhoons 9-7 in game 6 of the TU Final 4 to win the series in six games... Turon jumped ahead 4-1 in the fifth, but Kenwood fought back and tied it 4-4 in the seventh and then erupted for 5 runs in the eighth to take a commanding 9-4 lead and held off a scary ninth-inning rally by the Typhoons... Turon outgunned them 14 to 10... For the second day in a row Tank Tucker notched the win with a perfect seventh inning... Sol Yakis also picked up the save for the second successive day with ninth-inning relief... the Wildcats had many heroes at the plate... RF Dennis Riley (.318) and 2B Paul Lassak (.375) had 2 RBIs apiece... and 3B Brad Walker (.306) had 2 hits, scored twice and batted in a run... CF Vince Palmer (.280) smacked 3 hits and scored 2 runs... leading the losing Typhoons were RF Andy Porter (.325) with a pair of hits and 3 RBIs, 1B Clyde Kingsford (.311) with 3-5, 2 runs and an RBI and SS Matt Madison (.391) with 2-4 and 2 runs scored... Turon starter Jeb Stuart (2-1 3.91) sustained the loss... Stuart was shelled for 5 runs in 7 innings.
