We fell behind 2-0 early but battled back and Bake McBride hit a walk-off solo shot in the bottom of the 9th to take game 4 4-3. Hooton went all 9 setting up a deciding game 5, a rematch between Len Barker and Bert Blyleven.
Armstead ended the season 3rd in the AL in hitting, but he is 0-for the first 4 games, so we will slide him down to 7th and move Dan Briggs, hitting .500, into the leadoff slot.
The Braves took the NL in 4 games over the Pirates, so they await.
