2028 IPA Pro Cup Finals
Blue Jays Bash Waleska 10-4, Trail 2-1 In Series
In game three of the IPA Pro Cup Finals at Westerner Field in Waleska, the Tuckanarra Blue Jays unleashed a 16-hit assault to bash Waleska 10-4 in a much-needed victory... they busted up a 3-3 tie with 3 runs in the 6th inning... the Tucks are right back in the series and now trail by two games to one.
SS Jed Turchin, RF Dunstan Lane and 1B Lynn Starr sparked the Blue Jays at the plate... Turchin (.413) had 4-5 with 3 RBIs and 2 runs, Lane (.303) went 2-4 with 3 RBIs and Starr (.220) was 2-4 with 2 RBIs and 3 runs scored... Starr had the game's only home run.
Winning pitcher Sam Tate (1-0/3.38) did a fair job on the hill... He tossed 7 innings, was tapped for 4 runs and 10 hits, but it was good enough... Gene O'Reilly (0-0/1.50) and Rob Howe (1-0/0.00) closed it out for Tate with a scoreless eighth and ninth... loser Cliff Dyer (1-1/5.77) had a dreadful game as the Tucks shelled him for 7 runs and 8 hits in 6-plus frames... when he left, Dyer was trailing 7-3... LF Loco Dillinger (.403) and RF Roy Hobbs (.324) led the Westerners with 2 hits and an RBI each.
