It was a closer game than the score shows, but Philadelphia loses both games in their home park and the teams will now travel to Chicago to play games five and six.
By the top of the 5th, Chicago was up 7-2 and were in total control. But when the bottom half of the inning rolled around, Philadelphia hit four straight singles to start the inning. With one run scored and the bases still loaded with no outs, the Centennials looked like the momentum was about to swing to them.
But Lyman popped up to the first baseman, and then Frick grounded out, scoring a run but putting two outs on the board. Lankford came up and hit into a fielders choice, ending the inning and making the score 7-4. It was a good inning, but should have been bigger.
The score stayed the same into the 9th inning. In the bottom half, Philadelphia came up for their last shot. With one out, Haley got hit in the leg with a pitch, putting him on first. A strikeout by Friend made two outs. Willey came up, and hit a shot over the center fielders head. Haley rounded second and headed to third, and Willey made it in standing up at second, bringing the tying run to the plate.
On a 2-1 count, Howland hit a high fastball that went right to the left fielder. He didn't even have to move.
Chicago is now up three games to one, and the teams head back to O'Connor Park where the Orphans can win the series with two wins.
