We're back and ready for Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. The 1969 New York Mets are challenging the 1975 Cincinnati Reds, with the Mets looking to build on their 2-1 series lead. Nolan Ryan (2-0, 0.76) is on the hill for New York, while Pat Darcy (3-1, 1.50) gets the nod for Cincinnati. The Mets waste no time getting men on base. In the top of the 1st inning, Tommie Agee leads it off with a walk. Cleon Jones does the same and Art Shamsky loads the bases with a single. Donn Clendenon works up a full count and connects, ripping the ball hard to short. Unfortunately, he lined it straight to Dave Concepcion, who rifles it to Joe Morgan at second. Morgan relays it to Tony Perez at first and the Reds have pulled off the 6-4-3 TRIPLE PLAY to end the inning!!!

The Reds take the momentum into the bottom of the inning. Concepcion lines out to third for one out, followed by Pete Rose's 4-3 ground out. But Morgan comes up and delivers a double into right center field. Johnny Bench hits an RBI single to score Morgan and the Reds lead 1-0. George Foster would ground out 6-4 fielder's choice to end the inning.

Cincinnati would break the game open in the bottom of the 2nd. Perez, Ken Griffey Sr. and Cesar Geronimo all walk, loading the bases with no outs. Ryan is having control issues, as he throws a wild pitch to score Perez and then walks Darcy to load them up again. Another wild pitch scores Griffey. Concepcion hits a sac fly to center to score Geronimo. Rose singles, as does Morgan, scoring another run for the Reds. After walking Bench, Foster hits another sac fly to center and Ryan's night is over after 1 2/3 innings. Cal Koonce (0-0, 2.70, 2 G, 3.1 IP) comes in and gets the last out, but the Reds now lead 6-0.

It took a couple of innings, but Cincinnati gets to Koonce in the bottom of the 4th. After Rose grounds out to short, Morgan hits a home run 412 feet into right center. Bench singles and comes home when Foster hits a two run shot measuring 422 feet and over the left field wall. Now leading 9-0, the Reds coast the rest of the game, allowing the Mets to score only one run in the top of the 8th.

1975 Cincinnati Reds 9 1969 New York Mets 1 Series tied 2-2
