Game 4.

 

The fourth game saw the only series appearances by starters Albert Leifield and Charles Albert Bender. In the early going, Bender dominated, retiring the first 6 batters, and, after Kane singled, inducing a double play and striking out the next two. Leifield, for his part, struggled. His own error put Josh Clarke on 2nd, allowing him to score on Hummel’s single. In the third, Bobby Wallace homered, increasing Toledo’s lead to 2-0, and Knabe doubled home John Hummel to make it 3-0. Tommy Leach tripled to start the 5th inning, scoring on Jimmy Sheckard’s grounder to narrow the score to 3-1. An eighth inning grounder narrowed it to one run, but Bender bore down to hold the Bombers scoreless in the ninth. The Toledoans took a 3-1 lead in games with this 3-2 triumph.
