Game four featured a rematch of the starting pitchers from game one. Pitching for the Knights was Marcos Delgadillo (10-10, 3.55 ERA) and Alex Mobley (9-13, 2.86 ERA) got the start for the Maples.

Brooklyn's center fielder Namboko Shimohira singled in the first run of the game in the third inning. In the fourth, Don Hartz doubled to put the Knights up 2-0. The sixth proved to the game's pivotal inning. The Maples scored their first run off of a sacrifice fly from catcher Lorenzo Torres. The next batter, shortstop Lerrin Ruíz, blasted a three run homer to give Stade a 4-2 lead. The Knights loaded the bases in the eighth and had two men in scoring position in the ninth but failed to score.

As in 2023, the World Championship Series returns to Brooklyn for game six with the Knights down three games to two.
