2029 IPA Pro Cup Final 4 Series

Ruthlandian Union

Henderson HR Tops Vipers, Stars Win 1-0 in Game 2
Stoner's Raul Hidalgo and Valmara's Chris Phillips locked horns in a great pitching duel in game two of the Ruthlandian Union Final 4 Series... they went at it goose egg by goose egg for 6 innings, when it was finally broken up by 3B Jeff Henderson (.400) on a seventh-inning smash to give the Stoner Stars a 1-0 victory... the eighth-seeded Stars now have surprisingly won the first two games of the series from the fourth-seeded Valmara Vipers... Hidalgo (1-2/2.42) tossed a 7-hit shutout, fanning 4 Vipers and walking 3... Phillips (1-2/3.43) worked 8 innings, allowed 5 hits, struck out 6 and walked nobody.

Tycobbian Union

Ginza Rallies, Whips Rolling Hills 6-5 In 11th
After two games in the Tycobbian Union Final 4, Ginza and Rolling Hills have traded one-run games... Ginza took this one 6-5 in 11 innings when Taro Mori (.400) walloped a 2-out pinch-hit triple and scored on 2B Howard Winston's (.300) base hit... reliever Frank Beard (1-0/0.00) sealed the win by holding the Reds to just one hit and no runs over the final 2 frames... Loris Plooster went the first 9, surrendering 5 runs on 7 hits with 7 strikeouts and 4 bases on balls... Bobby Morris (0-2/2.57) chalked up the defeat, when he was tagged for the winning hit in the eleventh.

The Ninjas had the advantage in hits 11 to 8, led by LF Sadaharu Uchiyama (.368), who had 3 hits and got the two-out game-tying single in the bottom of the ninth to send it into extra innings... SS Russ Van Kleek (.419) added in 2 runs and an RBI... 1B Billy Christianson (.200) topped the Reds with 2-4 and 2 runs batted in... Chrisitianson socked a homer and a double in defeat.

The game went back-and-forth... Rolling Hills had a 2-0 lead in the second inning... only to lose it in the bottom half 3-2... the Ninjas made it 4-2 in the third... with the Reds tying it up 4-4 in the fifth... SS Tony Ptacek (.143) put Rolling Hills in front 5-4 briefly with a sacrifice fly in the eighth only to have Ginza tie the score in the ninth.
