Almost There: Cleveland On Cusp of World Series Triumph After 9-5 Win
Riding the 2-hit performance of first baseman Harold Batkin, the Cleveland Bobcats got a road win against the Toronto Hurons, 9-5, in Game 4 of the World Series today. Batkin was 2-2 with a double, 2 walks, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Bobcats, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 3 games to 1.

This game was not decided until late. With one out in the top of the ninth, Joe Rafferty hit a sacrifice fly. The Bobcats took the lead, 6-5.

"We lost," Toronto manager Jim Burns said later. "We'll deal with it. The series isn't over."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Dominion Field in Toronto.
