2018 IPA Pro Cup Finals - Game 3 At Jay Loman Park In Ancona
Typhoons Win Game 3 With Late Flurry 5-4
On the road in Ancona, Turon had to mount a late-inning rally to edge the feisty Ancona Red Elephants 5-4 in game three of the IPA Pro Cup Finals... the triumph gave Turon a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series... trailing 3-1 after 6 innings, the Typhoons got to Nikon Maragos for a pair of runs in each of the seventh and eighth frames to go ahead 5-3, then had to stave off a last-ditch effort by the Red Elephants in the bottom of the ninth... RF Dominick DiCaprio (.365) tripled in the tie-breaking run in the top of the eighth and LF Andy Porter (.500) singled in the eventual game-winner with a single... Ted Farentino (4-0 2.63) hurled another solid game, scattering 8 hits over 8 innings and departed with a 5-3 lead... closer Merle Studebaker almost blew the game and backed into his 5th playoff save... Maragos (0-2 5.01) faltered late and was the loser... he only gave up 5 hits and struck out 6 in his 9 innings... Porter led Turon with 2 hits, 2 runs and 2 RBIs... Porter hit his 4th postseason homer in the second inning... 3B Alex Brazzi (.178) went deep for the Red Elephants in defeat... it was his 3rd in the postseason.
