Almost There: Thunder Bay On Cusp of Triple A World Series Triumph After 4-2 Win
With starter Bart Watling leading the charge, the Thunder Bay Black Bears defeated the Indianapolis Ambition, 4-2, in Game 4 of the Triple A World Series. The right-hander threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball at Edgbaston to help Thunder Bay take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Had Matt McIntyre not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, McIntyre hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Black Bears.

"I thought Bart threw the ball well across the board," said Thunder Bay manager Qi-chang Ec.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Edgbaston in Thunder Bay.
