1876 - World Series Game 4

For this game, we brought our best possible lineup back on the field:



Both teams started off slowly with only one hit by Levi Meyerle in the first three innings. In the bottom of the 4th, Cleveland got on the scoreboard after a single hit by Jim A Devlin, followed by a series of errors. 1-0 Cleveland

Boston tied the game in the 6th with nice single hits by Davy Force and Nick Wehman and an error on steal attempt. 1-1
The draw didn't last long as the Blues scored their second run in the same inning when once again Jim A Devlin was able to bat Carlos Tamayo in. 2-1 Cleveland.

In the 7th, Cleveland produced a series of throwing errors and Orator Shafer was able to score another drawing run. 2-2
However, Cleveland hit much better now and scored two more runs in the bottom of the 7th. Jon Pierson and Mike Brogan hit singles and man-of-the-match Jim A Devlin batted them both in. 4-2 Cleveland

The game looked like it was lost already, but in the top of the 9th, Boston mounted a comeback when Orator Shafer hit a double to open the inning, Davy Force reached on error and Mike Schulze hit a single to load the bases. It was our catcher, Jim H O'Rourke who hit another single and allowed two of his teammates to cross the plate 4-4

The Blues were unable to score another run against subbed-in Flip Lafferty in the 9th and so we went on to extra innings. The decision fell in the 11th, when Matt Bricker and Tommy Bond both hit a single and Mike Brogan batted one in. Cleveland grabs the narrow win here, unlucky day for us.
