2017 IPA Pro Cup Finals (Best-of-Seven)
Game Five at Typhoon Stadium in Turon
Typhoons Take Back the Pro Cup Lead
Not too many people saw it coming, but Turon is now within a game of its fourth Pro Cup crown... nobody much believed the Typhoons could handle the powerful defending champ Eastshore, but they have defied the odds and run up a three-games-to-two lead in the best-of-seven series... rookie Shane Farmer (4-0) hurled his fourth straight playoff victory and knocked off the Elegants 4-3 in game five... Farmer was touched for 3 runs and 7 hits in 8 innings... closer Merle Studebaker again did his job and sat down Eastshore in the ninth for his 6th save... C Cody Moore paced Turon with 2 RBIs and LF Andy Porter went 2-2 and got the game-winning hit... loser Eddie Lance (2-2) surrendered 4 runs and 7 hits in his 8 frames... Eastshore scored in the first to take a 1-0 lead... Turon rebounded with a pair of runs in the second and expanded it to a 3-1 margin in the fifth, only to have the Elegants knot it 3-3 in the seventh... the Typhoons won it in the last of the eighth on Porter's RBI single... game six will be played at Kraft Stadium in Eastshore on Thursday... if needed, game seven will be Friday.
