Almost There: Boston On Cusp of LCS Triumph After 8-5 Win
Seattle left fielder Tommy Blanks pounded Boston Terriers pitchers at Puget Field, but it was not enough to keep the Emeralds from falling, 8-5 in Game 4 of the League Championship Series. Blanks went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 and was named player of the game for his efforts, even as he saw the Emeralds slip to a 3-1 deficit in the best-of-7 series.

Boston relied on the hitting of Jim Spencer to pick up the win. The left fielder ripped a bases-clearing triple in the top of the sixth inning to put the Terriers on top, 7-5. For the game, Spencer had 1 triple and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We're happy," Spencer told reporters after the win. "When you're in the playoffs, you've got to treat every game like it could be your last."

Game 5 is scheduled for tomorrow at Puget Field. The scheduled starters for the game are Gene Tiberi for Boston and Hank Tobey for Seattle.
