Divine, Knickerbockers Wallop Wolverines in Game 4 of LCS
New York center fielder Chuck Divine produced all the offense the Knickerbockers would need today in the club's 6-2 win over the Detroit Wolverines.

Divine hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice, while New York moved into a tie in the League Championship Series. The Knickerbockers and Wolverines are now even at 2-2 in the best-of-7 series.

In the top of the third of a scoreless game, Divine hit a 3-run home run to put his team ahead.

"When I'm in the lineup, I always feel like we're going to win the game," said Divine.

Game 5 is set to be played tomorrow at Wolverine Field. The scheduled starters for the game are Rick Sumner for New York and Gene Wingate for Detroit.
