Game 4 of the Crackers-Chippewae series was played out in beautiful 71 degree weather, with clear skies and a wind left to right at 11MPH. The pitching matchup - Mark Clark vs. Scott Erickson. The hope was the Erickson's groundball prowess woul better serve him here in Fenway than in the gusty 3Com venue. Ha! It is a tale of lost opportunity not for the faint of heart. Things started off badly for the Chippewae. After John Cangelosi led off the game with a flyout to center, David Segui doubled and Roberto Alomar brought him home by wrapping a 2-run shot around Pesky's Pole in RF. Chil Davis also doubled in the inning, but it was wrapped (uncharacteristically) around strikeouts of Edmonds and King. In the second inning, John Valentin doubled with one out and Cangelosi walked with two outs. David Segui singled to right field, scoring Valentin, but Cangelosi was thrown out at third by Gary Sheffield to end the inning. In the bottom of the third, Sheffield hit one out to pull the Chippewae within 3-1, but they would get no closer. The Crackers' 6th was the end of the Boston hopes. Edmonds singled with one out and went to third on Chili Davis' double. Jeff King was intentianlly walked to set up the DP possibility for Darren Fletcher. Fletcher bounced one high to 2nd base with the infiled in, cscoring Edmonds, with Davis moving to 3rd and King to 2nd. Valentin followed with a 3-run HR (doh!) to end the scoring on the day. The Chippewae stranded 14 baserunners on 8 hits and 7 walks. Albert Belle left 9 runners on in his 5 plate appearances, including a fly-out to left with the bases loaded to end the 5th inning. The series stands at 2 games each with one more at Boston. We're going back to Cabbagetown to settle this one!
