Sole Survivor Series - Game 4

Story and Box Score

Swatters Even With Shroud, Win in 10

Handed an opportunity to take a commanding lead in the Sole Survivor Series, the Fort Hagen Silver Shroud could not close the deal.

Game 4 went into extra frames and the Diamond City Swatters emerged victorious, taking a 10-inning, 7-5 win. Diamond City starting pitcher X10-44 Mannson threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball in the win at Hubris Comics Park today to drag the Swatters back to parity. The clubs are now tied 2-2 in the best-of-7 series.

Diamond City used the timely hitting of Jim Synthseeker to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Swatters on top, 7-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"You work hard, day in and day out, hoping to give the fans something to cheer about. Today was a good day," Mannson told the Diamond City News.

Andrew Nuka gave the Shroud an early 4-0 lead when he hit a grand slam home run in the bottom of the 3rd. However, Diamond City stormed back with two runs in each of the next two innings to tie the game, 4-4, heading into the bottom of the 8th. Then Fort Hagen scored, followed by a run by the Swatters in the top of the 9th.

"I blew it man," Silver Shroud reliever Matt Demented said. "I was given the chance to close thisd one out, but I had to give up runs in the 9th and 10th. I'm disappointed in myself more than my coaches can be."

Game 5 is set to be played tomorrow. Slated to start are Tim Fusion for the Diamond City Swatters and Matt Hope for the the Fort Hagen Silver Shroud.
