1906 World Series Game 4

Cubs: 1 White Sox: 0 (Series tied 2-2)

WP: Brown (1-1)

LP: Altrock (1-1)
Three Finger Brown demonstrated why he made the Hall of Fame in Game 4 of the 1906 World Series. He tossed a 2-hit shutout evening the series at 2 games a piece. Game 1 winner Nick Altrock was the tough luck loser for the White Sox. He allowed 7 hits and only a single run.

The game was scoreless until the seventh. Frank Chance singled and was sacrificed to second and third. With two out, Johnny Evers singled to give the Cubs the lead. Solly Hofman and Chance each had two hits for the victors. Put together, they doubled the Sox offensive output. Brown held the crosstown rivals hitless until the sixth. The game ended with the tying run on second.
