With the aid of an error by Ramon Murrel, the Ship is able to get a run across the plate and retake the lead once more. It was destined to be a short lead as the Centurions get a run scoring single from Freddie Jones to tie and two run homer from Pat Duncan take a lead they wouldnâ??t relinquish.
In the bottom of the ninth, the Ship were able to get a couple of hits against Centurion closer Carlos Rivera, but the crafty veteran induced a ground ball double play to preserve the Centurion win and allow Cincinatti to take a two games to one lead over St. Louis.

National League Championship Series: Game 4
May 11, 2005 at 01:25PM View BBCode
Game 4 of the NLCS was a classic pitching duel that will be a standard against which all future ASL playoff pitching performances will be judged. Both Centurion pitcher Mike Locke and Ship pitcher Dusty Walker brought their A games to the park. Mike Locke had a no hitter for 5 and a third innings before giving up a single to Darby Reynolds. Despite his dominating pitching performance, the game was scoreless going into the bottom of the eighth. With one out in the bottom of the eighth, Ernie Mejia hit a solo shot with one out to give the Ship a 1 to 0 lead. In the top of the ninth, Cincinatti catcher Jimmy Richards led off with a single, but Walker induced Ramon Murrell into a 6-4-3 double play and then got Curt Barr to ground out to the first basemen to end the game and preserve the 1-0 score and tie the series at two games apiece.
