Division Series Game 4 - GCG @ RKA

All Stars 2, Gossamers 1
Down 2 games to 1, All Stars owner Shotgun S stated in the pre-game interview that, "With Pedro & Stratton looming in Games 5 & 6, there is no way we can afford to fall behind 3-1 in the series, so we are going to have to bring back Lefty Gomez on short rest to start Game 4." Asked what it meant if the Lefty struggle, Shotgun quipped, "If he fails, we all fail."

The gambit paid off as Gomez was brilliant going 8 innings, yielding just 5 hits. JJ Putz pitched an uneventful 9th to pick up the save and the underdogs have tied the series at 2-2.

The game was close all night, and in the 7th, enjoying the post season for the first time, the All Stars faithful gave Goose Goslin a seven and a half minute standing ovation when he broke open the 1-1 logjam with a majestic solo home run down the right field line.

  1. A tremendous crowd. Always supportive, even in our two lean years. Glad they were finally able to see a playoff game.
