Johnson Blasts Athletics, Reds Take Game 4, 7-5
The Cincinnati (AZL) Reds and the Oakland (AZL) Athletics will take the Round 1 to a decisive 5th game. In a must-win situation today, the Reds beat the Athletics 7-5 at Ed Smith Stadium to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Cincinnati (AZL) shortstop Ryan Johnson was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2.

In the bottom of the 4th, the Reds grabbed the lead on a two-out single by Howard Houchin. Cincinnati (AZL) at the time was trailing 5-4, but Houchin's 2-run single off Alastair Patterson put his team in front.

"Things broke our way today and that's great," Reds manager Jay Windham said. "It's important, though, to stay focused and not pat yourself on the back too much. We aren't done yet."

The next game is scheduled for Tuesday, September 9th, 2064 at Papago Park Sports Facility. The scheduled starters for the game are Jose Florez for Cincinnati (AZL) and Pete Franks for Oakland (AZL).
