IPA Pro Cup Finals - Game 1 At Typhoon Stadium In Turon

Turon Takes Pro Cup Opener 4-3
Playing at home, Turon took an early 3-0 lead and then had to fight off a determined bunch of Ancona Red Elephants as they came back in the seventh to tie it up at 3-all... but lost it 4-3 when RF Dominick DiCaprio (.382) tripled to lead off the bottom of the eighth against a tired Clete Dukas and scored the game-winner on LF Andy Porter's (.500) base hit... Dukas (3-3 2.42) went all the way in defeat, yielding 4 runs on 8 hits... Nicky Engstrom worked the first 6 frames for Turon and gave up 2 runs on 6 hits... Engstrom was KO'd in the Ancona 3-run outburst in the seventh, highlighted by 1B Johnny Lee Harder's (.348) 2-run clout... Juan-Carlos Torriente (1-1 8.10) got credit for the win, but was tagged for the tying run... closer Merle Studebaker copped his 4th playoff save with a perfect 1-2-3 ninth... CF Mac McCurnan (.222) sparked the Typhoons with 3 hits, including a pair of RBI doubles in the first and second innings... 1B Clyde Kingsford (.208) drove in the other Turon run in the third.
