2017 IPA Pro Cup Finals (Best-of-Seven)

Game Two at Kraft Stadium in Eastshore

Elegants Back On Track, Edge Typhoons 2-1 in Game 2
24-year-old Bix Hansen had a fine rookie season in 2013 with an 18-15 record, but it has all been downhill since... After a terrible 2016 season with an ERA over 8.00, Hansen was cut from the squad at the beginning of spring training and placed on the reserve roster, where he lingered in limbo until Eastshore lost its ace pitcher Danny Siegfried to injury in late September... That injury has been a salvation for Hansen as he has been outstanding in the postseason with 3 straight complete-game victories... the latest came in the 2-1 triumph over the Turon Typhoons, who were threatening to take a 2-game lead in the Pro Cup Finals... Hansen got the Elegants back on the win track with a masterfully-pitched game... Hansen, a soft-throwing righty, kept the Typhoons off-balanced all day long with his assortment of trash, holding them to 5 hits and a run, while striking out 5 and walking 3... RF Jack Brown's solo shot in the second inning was the only run off of Hansen... Typhoon closer Merle Studebaker (0-1) sustained the loss... two walks and a base hit by RF Stan Cuccinello cost him the game... Ted Farentino started for Turon... in a sharp outing, he worked into the ninth, allowing only one unearned run and 7 hits with 2 walks and 8 strikeouts.
