ACES HIGH ON OPENING DAY OF THE IPA PRO CUP PLAYOFFS
In poker 4 aces is one of the best hands you can have... in the Islandian Pro Alliance one ace can make you a winner... there were aces in abundance in the opening games of the IPA playoffs yesterday... 8 teams sent their best to the mound, but only 4 of the teams could take home a victory... all of the Pro Cup challengers got good performances from their aces... but it was Claxton, Forest City, Oxford and Rolling Hills that posted victories.
In first-round action in the Ruthlandian Union Claxton and Forest City claimed first-game wins... the Diamonds downed the LaGrange Gators 3-1 and the Firebirds shut down the Wynnamac Sundowners 3-1.
In the Tycobbian Union both openers went extra innings before being decided... reigning Pro Cup champion Rolling Hills got superb outings in its 3-2 victory in 12 innings over the Red Bluff Red Sox, while the Oxford Red Caps got great work from its bullpen to outlast and hold off the Southport Sun Sox 4-2 in 13 innings.
