Game 4 a game for the ages as Houston prevail, force Game 5. In a game that was a tail of two halves, the Houston HS Calvary jumped to a 9-5 lead after five and a half innings today. During the second half of the game Oklahoma City were able to claw their back into the game, making it 10-9 after seven innings. Each team scored a run in the eighth to make it an 11-10 OKC game going into the ninth. Houston was able to score two runs in the top of the ninth to take the lead 12-11 and Oklahoma City failed to score in the bottom of the ninth. This game had 92 plate appearances, with 27 hits and 23 runs scored. Jose Patino is set to start Game 5.

So close, yet so far away. The South Los Angeles HS Spirit scored in the top of the first today, and that would prove to be their only run in an extremely tight affair. They held that lead all the way to the bottom of the ninth until SLA pitcher Dan Narvaez walked three and gave up two earned runs to lose the game for the Spirit. Brown was his usual self, minus the run production. He went 2-3 with an additional walk in the loss.
Both of our players are now forced to play a Game 5 decider!
