2040 IPA PRO CUP SERIES - Game Four
BULLS WINS AGAIN, HAWK BLANKS SUNSETS 3-0
Guess what?... underdog Ranford is back in business and all even with heavily-favored Summerland in the Pro Cup Finals... Ralph Hawk and Frank Yosarian combined for a 3-0 five-hitter in game four to knot it up at two games apiece... it was the Bulls second straight win at home in Ranford County Stadium over the Sunsets... Summerland could be in trouble, if the offense doesn't get out of its funk... they have scored only two runs in the last two games and won the first game by only 1-0.
Hawk (3-2/2.34) hurled the first seven frames, gave up only four hits, struck out six and walked three... Yosarian finished up for him with two runless innings on one hit... it was Yosarian first save in the postseason... he has appeared in nine games so far with a 2-0 record and an 1.04 ERA in 17 innings.
Ranford got to Johnny Young (4-1/1.05) for all three runs in the opening frame... LF Dale Weston (.369) doubled in the first two and Glenn Ward (.163) drove in the third one with a single... the Bulls socked 11 hits with Weston getting four of them and CF Jimmy Holcomb (.304) three... Young went all the way in defeat, fanned nine and walked none... it was his first loss of the playoffs.
