NALB 2018 World Championship Series - Game 4
October 09, 2019 Filed in: Baseball
Game four was once again in Stade as the Maples faced a 2-1 of the World Championship Series deficit. The pitching matchup was Brooklyn's Darius Luxton (15-4, 4.12 ERA) vs. Stade's David Bracy (18-6, 3.35 ERA).
This was a tightly contested pitching duel. The Knights scored the game's first run in the fourth inning. Third baseman Alberto Pescador tripled and second baseman Flavio Marquez brought him home with a single. There was a stiff 20 mph wind blowing in from center field. That didn't stop Hooks Goetz from blasting a solo home run through the wind in the seventh inning. Up 2-0, the Knights looked to blow the game open in the eighth. They loaded the bases with no outs. However, Maples' reliever Howard Galloway kept the game close by retiring the next three Knights' hitters without allowing a run. The Brooklyn bullpen took care of the rest and sealed the 2-0 shutout win.
The player of the game was Darius Luxton, thanks to his fine performance on the mound. He pitched six shutout innings and only allowed five hits and a walk.
Final score: Brooklyn 2, Stade 0
