2036 IPA Pro Cup Final 4 Series
(best-of-seven)

Ruthlandian Union

CRUSADERS CLUB CC 'CATS 6-3 IN GAME 2
On the road in Cold Creek, St. John mauled the Catamounts mound corps for 14 hits en route to a 6-3 triumph in game two of the Ruthlandian Final 4 to leap in front 2-0 in the series... the Crusaders also got a good start from lefty Vito Sanfratello (2-1/3.66), who held Cold Creek to 3 runs - only one earned - and 7 hits in 8 and two-thirds innings... Joey Baker (1-1/2.40) was the losing pitcher... he left after 7 innings trailing 3-1... Baker was touched for 10 hits and 3 runs.

CF Art Kelley (.395) smacked a double and a triple and batted in 3 runs in the win... LF Gilbert Hall (.313) added 3 hits... and four other Crusaders chipped in with a pair of hits each: RF Nicky Farrugia (.289), 1B Johnny Zaun (.409), 3B Marty Blankenship (.250) and 2B Norm Murdoch (.333)... Farrugia got the game's only homer, his third in the postseason... 2B Simon Penbroke (.444) led the Catamounts at the plate with 3 hits.

Tybobbian Union

HAWKS SLIPS BY BRAVES AGAIN, WIN 4-3 IN GAME 2
The home town North Hills Hawks rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to slip past Chicopee 4-3 to win the first two games of the Tycobbian league championship series... gritty Frank Lambert sucked it up and blanked the Braves after a 3-run clout by Alfredo Cobos put him deep in the hole in the opening frame... Lambert (2-0/4.00) went all the way surrendering just 6 hits to the hard-hitting Braves... he walked 5 and fanned 4 in the victory... SS Steve Shearer (.313) led the offense with 3 doubles, 2 runs and 2 RBIs... CF Kris Anastas (.240) added 2 hits and 2 runs batted in... Cobos (.419) got two hits for the Braves... southpaw Ryan Ledbetter (1-1/2.66) caught the loss, hurling 7 and two-thirds innings, permitting 4 runs on 7 hits with 7 Ks and 4 walks.

Shearer tied the game at 3-3 in the seventh with a double... he then scored the game-winning run on a double by Anastas... in the second inning back-to-back two-baggers by RF Nicky Bowen (.333) and Shearer cut the Chicopee lead to 3-1... in the fifth frame Shearer and Anastas teamed up again for the second Hawks' run when Shearer doubled and scored on Anastas' base hit.
