ALCS Game 4
Bertrand Island Carnies @ Gold Country Gossamers
A second inning rain delay erased both managers starting pitcher plans, resulting in an epic battle of the bullpens that remains a draw to this moment. The only runs scored by either team, were two off of Gossamer starter Carl Hubbell early in the first inning. A Ty Cobb triple and Frank Thomas run scoring ground-out held for 8+ innings.
In a surprise move, the Gossamers sent a fully rested Carl Hubbell to the mound in place of 4th starter Fergie Jenkins. We'll never know who Hubbell would have fared in a full game, but the starter didn't have his best stuff, walking two and giving up two hits in the first inning alone. After the rain delay in the 2nd, the Carnies managed just three hits in the remaining 7 innings.
Trying not to be outdone, the Carnie's used four relievers over their last 7 1/3 innings, giving up 6 hits and striking out 4.
Once the starters were out of the game, only one runner on either team reached second base the rest of the night.
With a commanding 3-1 series lead, the Carnie's hope to close out the series with Danny Haren (13-6, 2.60) tomorrow night. Game 2 winner Tex Hughson (17-10, 2.90) is the probable starter for Gold Country
