The game four starters were Brooklyn's Dan Courtlandt (15-5, 2.06 ERA) and Vancouver's Miguel Vela (8-8, 2.61 ERA). The Wild entered the game with a 2-1 Series lead.

It was a low-scoring well-pitched game. The Knights scored the first run on a Ramone Alconer homer in the fifth inning. The bottom of the sixth inning, however, was decisive. The Wild got a leadoff single from Codie Laton. Sardar Dzhafarov then came on in relief for Courtlandt. Brock James laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance the runner. Pedro Castro drew a walk and then stole second base. Fernando Chira delivered a clutch 2-RBI single to put the Wild ahead for good.

Final score: Vancouver 2, Brooklyn 1
