The Brooklyn Knights were one win away from another World Championship. Playing at home, they had José Arisa starting against Jesús Martínez. This was the same pitching matchup that was featured in game two, which Brooklyn won 6-4.

A Lariel Goméz triple highlighted the first inning. Goméz scored the game’s first run on a sacrifice fly by Hsiao-lou Yeh. The Corals quickly tied the game in the second inning. With Adelmo Porcayo on first base, Martin Swader hit a double to even the score. The Corals bats were active again in the third inning. Matthew Loy singled and Yuan Li doubled. The Knights intentionally walked Porcayo to load the bases with one out. Alonso Martucci hit a double over the head of left fielder Ángel Santago to drive in two runs. The Corals took a 3-1 lead. Key West’s lead didn’t last long, however. In the bottom of the third, Yeh hit a two run home run to tie the game 3-3. An RBI single by Romeo Usquiano put the Knights up one in the fourth. Things unraveled for Arisa and the Knights in the fifth, however. Four singles led to two more runs by the Corals. That is where the score would stand, 5-4. The Corals mighty trio of Tim Sanders, Thornton Peters, and Almandeto Trillio pitched scoreless seventh, eighth, and ninth innings, respectively, to close out the win.

Final score: Key West 5, Brooklyn 4
