After three games into the World Championship Series, the home team was still looking for a win. The Firecats hoped to break that streak in game four with starter Francisco Rodil (9-9, 4.24 ERA). The Corals started Edgardo Rivera (8-7, 4.01 ERA), their young sinkerball pitcher.

Adelmo Porcayo continued his display of power in the 2013 postseason with another home run in the top of the first. It was a three run shot, which quickly put the Firecats in a hole. Cipriano Delgudo pulled Nashville a run closer with an RBI double in the third inning. Dacey Rager tied the game with a two run single in the fourth. Rager put the Firecats ahead 5-3 in the sixth with a long ball into the right field seats. One more insurance run was added in the eighth when Pete Chavez batted in Dan Kelley. Thanks to three fielding errors by the Corals and some clutch hitting by the Firecats, the home crowd was treated to a 6-3 win.

Final score: Nashville 6, Key West 3
