Almost There: Detroit On Cusp of World Championship Series Triumph After 7-4 Win
Riding the 2-hit performance of center fielder Edwin Hackberry, the Detroit Dynamos got a road win against the Kansas City Kings, 7-4, in Game 4 of the World Championship Series. Hackberry was 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Dynamos, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 3 games to 1.

Detroit needed the clutch hitting of Dan Smith to seal the deal. The catcher swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Dynamos on top, 5-4. For the game, Smith had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We aren't quitting," Kansas City manager Glenn Carney said. "Yeah, the odds are definitely in their favor, but they've got to earn it."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Prairie Park in Kansas City.
