Orth shelled on short rest; Boggs leads All Stars to 6-5 win


NLDS Game 4 
Rusty Kuntz Traveling All Stars @ Otherton Fishbiscuits



In a surprise move the Otherton Fishbiscuits bypassed the scheduled start of Lefty Stewart and sent ace Addie Joss to the mound in his stead.  The last minute change backfired with Joss lasting only into the fourth inning, leaving after giving up 5 runs on 8 hits and a walk.

Now down 3 games to 1, ownership will undoubtedly questions themselves since All Star starter Ben Sheets didn't have his best stuff either.  A mediocre start from Stewart may have resulted in a win.

Still, it was a great game that headed to the 9th tied at five each until Rocky Colavito, pinch hitting for Jimmy Sheckard, took a 0-1 fastball deep over the right center field wall for a lead the All Stars would maintain.  Wade Boggs had 2 hits and 3 RBI in the win.

Tomorrow's starters are Tommy Glavine for Otherton (5-2, 3.59) and Al Orth for Rusty Kuntz (16-9, 3.31)

Starter Lines:
Sheets(RKA): 2.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 2 K
Joss (OFB):: 3.1 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 1 BB, 0 K
