Starting pitchers for game four were Aaron Patterson (10-9, 3.74 ERA) for the Knights and Dave Kirby (17-9, 2.71 ERA) for the Maples. Kirby led his team in wins on the season. Aaron Patterson was a bit inconsistent but he pitched phenomenally well down the stretch. Over the last two months of the regular season, he was 7-1 with a 1.60 ERA.

The action heated up in the top of the second inning. After the Knights scored a quick two runs, Syman Lowery hit a fastball from Dave Kirby for a 3-run homer, putting Brooklyn up 5-0. Lowery came through again in the fourth inning with another hit, which led to a two run inning for the Knights. The 7-0 blowout didn't last long, however. In the bottom of the fourth, the Maples roared back as Patterson was pulled for a reliever. The main damage was done by pinch hitter Hipolito Núñez, who hit a three run home run. That was followed by a solo homer by leadoff hitter Mead Ward. That made it 7-5 Knights, which ended up being the final score.

Final score: Brooklyn 7, Stade 5
