2022 IPA Final 4 Series
(best-of-seven)

Sligo Survives, Beats CL 5-3 In Game 5
The Sligo Rovers lived to play another day... they survived elimination with a clutch pitching performance from Les Patterson, who stopped Crystal Lake 5-3 in game five of the RU Final 4 Series... the Crushers still have a 3-2 edge in the series and need just one more victory to wrap it up... Patterson (2-3 2.76) went the route and only allowed one earned run and 5 singles with 2 walks and 7 strikeouts... Sligo built up a 5-1 lead after 4 innings and held on... CF Chris Michel (.277) led them at the plate with 3 hits and 3 runs scored... Rover 1B Johnny Lee Harder (.297) drove in 2 of the runs and 3B Matty Alou (.214) and SS Vic Carlin (.154) had one apiece... Ralph McCullough (2-1 2.32) lost for the first time in the postseason, permitting 5 hits and 5 runs, 3 earned, in 6 innings... he walked 7 and fanned 4 in a poor effort... for Sligo to defend its Pro Cup title, it will have to win the final two games at home at Silver Mountain Park.

Midway Wins TU In 5 Games, Pro Cup Finalist
In a surprise, seventh-seeded Midway upset fourth seed Arroyo Grande in the TU Final to advance to the IPA Pro Cup for the first time in its history... The Wolves captured the series in five games... 22-year-old Bobby Dorignac clinched the league crown by blanking the Suns 2-0 on 6 hits... It was his third straight strong outing in the postseason... Dorignac (3-0 1.04) whiffed 8 and walked just 2 in going the distance... Ernie Matthews (1-2 3.90) was sharp, too, yielding only one earned run and 5 hits, also in a complete game... two errors led to the Wolves first run in the third inning... RF Kyle Rigney (.386) got the last run in on a sacrifice fly in the seventh.

Midway will now get ready for an IPA showdown with Crystal Lake or Sligo for the Island baseball championship... the Pro Cup is slated to start Friday afternoon. Games one and two will be played at the Ruthlandian Union's home field... Crystal Lake was 97-57 during the year, Sligo wound up 95-59 and Midway was 92-62... Both the Crushers and the Rovers will have home field advantage over the Wolves.
