Detroit Wins Game 4 in Extras; On Verge of LCS
The Detroit Wolverines went into extra innings against the Los Angeles Pobladores but ultimately moved to within one game of the League Championship Series. The Wolverines downed the Pobladores at San Vicente Park by a score of 4-3. Detroit right-hander John Fredrick had a solid outing. He threw 8.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The win gives the Wolverines a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-7 Divisional Round.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the top of the tenth, with the game tied, Jim Caldwell was at the plate when Detroit scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Wolverines to go in front, 4-3.

"This was a nice win for us," said Caldwell. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at San Vicente Park in Los Angeles.
