2019 IPA Pro Cup Series
(best-of-seven)

Snappers Sweep Again, Pro Cup Champs
For the first time in its history Rocky Rapids is the Pro Cup champion... the Snappers wrapped up the title with another fine mound performance by Joe Anderson, who blanked Ozarka 2-0 on 7 hits with the help of closer Milt Baker... Baker got his third save with a perfect ninth... Anderson worked 8 innings, struck out 3 and walked 4... Anderson (5-0 1.94) did not lose a game in the postseason, leading the Snappers to 12 successive victories... they swept all three of their series... only the third time in IPA history this has been done... the Far Mountain Redhawks accomplished it in 2013 and Eastshore did it in 2016.

Benny Osterman (2-4 3.35) kept Ozarka close... he only allowed 6 hits and 2 runs in 8+ innings... Rocky Rapids RF Tiger Noland (.319) doubled in the first, advanced to third on a ground-out and scored on a wild pitch... that's all they got until the 8th when 3B Cooter Bermudez added an insurance run with an RBI single... The Snappers won the Island championship with amazing pitching... The team ERA was a sensational 1.34 in the 12 postseason wins... what's even more impressive is they did it against three of the best-hitting clubs in the IPA, the Ozarka Naturals, Taranto Tars and Eastshore Elegants.

Anderson was 5-0 in 6 starts with a 1.94 ERA... Junior Noland was 3-0 with 2 shutouts and a 0.67 ERA and number three starter Don Clancy was 2-0 with a 1.67 ERA... closer Milt Baker was 1-0, worked in 5 games, chalked up 3 saves and allowed no runs in 7 innings.
