2036 IPA Pro Cup Final 4 Series

Ruthlandian Union

ST. JOHN WHIPS COLD CREEK 3RD TIME, MAY SWEEP
The St. John Crusaders topped Cold Creek for the third game in a row to move very close to a sweep in the Ruthlandian Final 4... the Crusaders held off the Catamounts 5-4 in game three played at Cathedal Stadium in St. John... they built up a 5-2 lead after six innings and then fought off a Cold Creek rally in the top of the ninth... the Catamounts scored two runs and had the bases loaded when the Crusaders finally managed to get the final out... Lou Gianakos (2-1/3.91) tossed a complete game, fanned 4 batters and walked one, while allowing 4 runs on 9 hits... Gianakos and Nicky Farrugia led the Crusader bats with 2 RBIs each... Rob Hutchins (2-1/3.13) toiled in defeat, giving up 5 runs on 7 hits in 7 innings.

St. John had 8 hits with 1B Johnny Zaun (.440) and 3B Marty Blankenship (.273) delivering 2 hits each... Zaun had an RBI triple... RF Nicky Farrugia (.293) hit a 2-run homer in the first inning... its was his fourth in the postseason... C Arved Tarand (.313) homered for the Catamounts... and 1B Eric Hollister (.357) and 2B Pat Ellis (.222) cracked 2 hits apiece... Hollister drove in 2 runs and Ellis scored twice... Cold Creek had 9 hits in the game.

Tycobbian Union

BIG INNING LIFTS BRAVES OVER HAWKS 7-5
Things were not going well for Chicopee in game three of the TU Final 4 Series at the Brewster Street Ballpark... North Hills was ahead in the series two games to none and had a 1-0 lead after 6 innings, then the Braves' bats exploded for 7 runs in the seventh to get them back into the series... Chicopee had to survive a 4-run ninth by North Hills to rack up its first win in the series 7-5... Alfredo Cobos' (.412) continued his torrid hitting with a grand slam homer, his fourth in the playoffs... that gave him 18 RBIs in the postseason... the playoff record is 22 by Tony Blundell, who led the Red Bluff Red Sox to the Pro Cup title in 2007... the home-run record is 8, set by Bailey Norcross of the IPA champion Middlefield Roosters in 2005... winning pitcher Byron Wilson (2-0/1.62) was sharp as a tack as he held the Hawks to just one run and 6 hits in 8 innings, but his bullpen almost blew it for him... Wilson walked no one in the game and posted 5 Ks... Kajika Fleetwood was shelled for 4 runs in the ninth before Johnny Stewart came on with the bases loaded to get the last out and his third save.

Both teams had 11 hits each... 2B Todd Goodwin (.244), SS Felix Roubique (.286) and C Joel Gamble (.242) paced the Braves with 2 hits apiece... North Hills' offensive leaders were 2B Kiril Ivonoski (.450) with 3 hits and 3B Tommy Vavas (.344) and CF Kris Anastas (.276) with 2 hits each... and C Mikhail Romanovsky (.200) and Vavas had 2 RBIs apiece.
