NALB 2011 World Championship Series - Game 4
November 02, 2012 Filed in: Baseball
In game four, it was a rookie power pitcher versus a crafty veteran left-hander. Brooklyn’s 21 year old Tony Tamayo (13-4, 4.44 ERA) started the first World Championship Series game of his young career. Stade had the experience of 37 year old Luis Hesterfer (12-11, 5.03) on the mound.
This may have been the most entertaining game of the 2011 Series thus far. Carl Gwinn started the game with a double and later scored. The Maples went ahead in the second inning thanks to Leslie Hubbard’s two run homer. The Knights evened the score 2-2 when Carl Gwinn led off the third with a solo home run. Stade went back on top when Red Valdez scored on a Mark Huff single in the bottom of the fourth. In the sixth, Red Valdez’s error at second base allowed Brooklyn to tie the game at three runs apiece. From the seventh inning on, runs were almost impossible to come by. Both teams continued to hit, but good pitching snuffed out any rallies. With the score still tied 3-3 in the 13th inning, Stade strung together four straight singles. The Maples won on George Montgomery’s walkoff hit.
Final score: Stade 4, Brooklyn 3
