World Series Game 4 - "Cald as Ice"


GAME 4
Jeffcoat vs Caldwell
Reds 7, Brewers 5

In what might turnout to be a colossal mistake in judgement Milwaukee's manager decided to bring Mike Caldwell back on short rest so that he might be available 3 times (if needed) in the series.  After being staked to a 2-0 lead Caldwell was battered to the tune of 6 runs in the top of the 2nd and had to be replaced before the frame ended.  The Brewer pen did a masterful job allowing just 1 run the rest of the way, but the 6-2 deficit was awful hard to come back from.  The Brewers posted solo runs in the 3rd, 4th and 5th innings but failed to get that crooked number on the board when they needed it the most.  Smoky Burgess' 2 run blast in the 2nd wound up being the difference maker.  Milwaukee put a scare into the Reds by putting runners on the corner against Jim Acker in the 9th, but Ben Oglivie lined out to third to end it.
Series tied 2-2
