2022 IPA Pro Cup Finals
(best-of-seven)
Sonnenberg Homers Twice In Crushers 5-2 Win
Light-hitting Crystal Lake SS Alton Sonnenberg went deep twice on Motega Wolf and led the Crushers to a 5-2 victory, moving them way ahead in the Pro Cup Series three-games-to-one... one more Crusher win and it's over... Sonnenberg slammed a solo shot in the top of the third and a two-run clout in the fifth, putting the Crushers ahead 3-0... rookie Sonnenberg (.286) had a perfect 3-for-3 day at the plate... he now has 10 RBIs in the Pro Cup playoffs... 3B Tommy Gompers (.302) also belted a 2-run homer in the fifth for a 5-0 lead.
Super ace Duncan Welch (6-0 1.03) was outstanding again, scattering 8 hits, striking out 9 , walking 2 and chalking up his 6th win in the playoffs this season and his 12th overall... Welch has lost only one game in the postseason in his career... how does he do it? - with a 98-mph fastball, great control, command and stuff... Wolf (1-2 2.14) fell to Welch again, allowing 5 runs on 7 hits in 5 innings.
