ALDS - Game 4: "Bishop says check mate"

October 8th, Game 4 Philadelphia -
An even bigger Heartbreaker loss for Boston as Powers rings up a victory over Taylor. Boston led the entire game, the score 4 - 2 at the start of the bottom of the 9th.  Ted Williams planted his 3rd HR of the series with 2 RBI's against hapless Lefty Grove.  Bottom of the ninth was crunch time for Philadelphia. Cobb led off with a single, advancing to 3rd on a hit by Collins. Hale (3 for 4, 2 RBI's) delivered a nice SF to score Cobb, but there now were two outs with Philadelphia down 4 - 3.  Zack Wheat again saved the day with a timely blast off the wall to tie the game.  Pinch hitters again earned their pay when Max Bishop slammed a single to score Wheat.  The teams leave 19 men on base.
Philadelphia 5, Boston 4
A's win series 3-1

--submitted by Stephen Lee--
Series MVP: Sammy Hale 9 for 12 with 9 RBI's; Runner-up MVP Ted Williams 3 HR, 8 RBI's.

Mr. Mack stated after the final game that the Boston team was well managed and played marvelously through the series.
