2028 IPA Pro Cup Finals

Waleska Skims By Tucks 6-5, Takes Series Lead 3-2
In a nip-and-tuck affair at Westerner Field, underdog Waleska took favored Tuckanarra 6-5 with a 2-run ninth-inning rally and took the lead in the IPA Pro Cup 3 games to 2... 3B Yahto Sisika tripled in the tying run and SS Jose De Leon delivered the game-winner with a 2-out single... a victory in game six or game seven will give the Westerners their first ever Pro Cup.

The game went back-and-forth as the teams traded the lead... the Blue Jays went up 1-0 on CF Terry Jasper's (.306) triple and RF Dunstan Lane's (.317) single... Waleska's CF Roy Hobbs (.316) countered that with a 2-run double in the third... the Tucks regained the lead 3-2 on Lane's run-scoring single and LF Bill Moody's RBI (.322) double... in the fifth Hobbs tied it up 3-3 with a solo homer... a seventh-inning 2-run home run by Blue Jay 3B Koora Nawajuk (.349) put them in front 5-3... Waleska then narrowed it to one run in the last of the seventh when CF Wilson James (.304) tripled and scored on LF Loco Dillinger's (.391) RBI groundout.

It was a rough go for Waleska starter Terry Richards, who weathered 13 hits for the victory... Richards gave up 5 runs, walked just one and fanned 5... Jamie Gustafson (2-3/4.01) lost it, permitting 6 runs on 8 hits, while walking 8 and striking out 6.

Hobbs led the Westerners at the plate with 2 hits and 3 RBIs... Sisika added 2 hits, scored twice and batted in a run... 5 Blue Jays each got 2 hits... Nawajuk and Lane batted in a pair of runs apiece... Nawajuk got his 5th playoff homer and Hobbs got his 3rd.

The Pro Cup Series returns to Tuckanarra for game six and game seven, if needed... starters for tomorrow afternoon's game will be Sam Tate (1-0/3.38) for Tuckanarra and Tucker Wilton (1-0/4.05) for Waleska... Wilton has replaced Cliff Dyer (1-1/5.77) in the number three spot for the Westerners... Wilton joined the Westerners in August and was 4-2 in 11 regular season starts with a 4.68 ERA, while Tate was 15-13 and a 3.71 ERA... Tate is suffering with a slightly sore arm and will only start if he is feeling 100% at game time.
