The weather in Vancouver was a bit nasty for game 4. The temperature was 52 degrees at the start of the game with winds gusting to 20 mph. It started raining in the fourth inning. By the fifth inning, the rain was heavy enough to warrant a rain delay, which lasted 60 minutes.

The starting pitchers were Brooklyn’s Aaron Patterson (11-6, 3.49 ERA) and Vancouver’s Nicholás Sanalria (2-6, 3.78 ERA). After a scoreless first inning, the rest of the game belonged to the Knights. Brooklyn was aided by an error from Wild first baseman Luís Oliuares, which contributed to four runs in the third inning. After three innings, Brooklyn had a comfortable 5-0 lead. In the seventh inning, the Wild committed another error. This time, it was center fielder Ed Gillum’s miscue that led to another Brooklyn run. The Knights erased any hopes for a Wild comeback in the ninth inning when Maurílio Godim hit a two-run homer.

Final score: Brooklyn 8, Vancouver 0
