Empires Even With Traders After Walk-Off Win
The New York Empires got a strong game from starter Mike Higgins, but it was some clutch hitting that ultimately delivered the win.

The Empires took the 2-1 win over the Chicago Traders in Game 4 of the World Series in a 9th inning walk-off today. The win capped off a fine outing for the right-handed Higgins, who was named player of the game. Higgins threw 9 innings allowing 1 run in the win, which brought the Empires into a 2-2 tie in the best-of-7 series.

A.J. King was the walk-off hero for New York. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Empires catcher hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

King called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."

Game 5 is scheduled for tomorrow at Queens Field. Slated to start are Joe Shannon for the Chicago Traders and Tom Green for the the New York Empires.
