Utah vs Toledo game 4

Utah opened up a 7-1 lead against starter John Almaraz, Lou Zamuda and Ryan Ballard each drove in 3. Steve Werden grand slam in the 4th brought Toledo back to within 2 runs, but Brian Young held the Mud Hens to only 1 more run in more than 4 relief innings.

Toledo went to Paul Williamson in the 6th inning, and he pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings to keep the game close, but Toledo could not tie it up as the game went into the 9th.

In the 9th, Utah brought out the saving Ute, and highlighted the contrast in the way these two teams use their relief aces. While Williamson will pitch multiple innings, and come in when the game is tied or even when his team is trailing, Battletrap hold his saving Ute for save situations. But Rollins is very good at the job, and pitched a perfect inning with 2 strikeouts to give Utah a 3-1 series lead.
