1903 World Series Game 4

Game 4: Pirates: 5 Red Sox: 4 (Pirates lead 3-1)
WP: Phillippe (3-0)

LP: Dinneen (1-1)

Deacon Phillippe returned for his third complete game of the series to help the Bucs take a 3-1 series lead. Game 2 winner Bill Dinneen was Phillippe's latest victim. Pittsburgh scored in the first on a Kitty Bransfield single. Boston tied it in the fifth on a Lou Criger single and the Pirates retook the lead 2-1 in the bottom half on Tommy Leach's RBI safety. The Pirates seem to put the game away in the seventh. Leach tripled in two and then scored on Honus Wagner's hit. Pittsburgh took the 5-1 lead into the ninth and held on for dear life. The Sox scored three with a furious rally that fell just short. Both starters finished the game despite wobbly moments.
