The Cardinals have forced at the very least a game five in Toronto Wednesday night after a 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs at Bernie Arbour Stadium.
Hamilton starter Joe Hill (1-0) went all the way and struck out eleven as he allowed just a single earned run on six hits. The lone Maple Leafs run came in the fourth inning on an RBI-groundout out by Rob Patterson that scored Rob Butler. Rich Butler led Toronto with a double and a single.
Chris Rauth (2-1) suffered his first playoff loss, allowing four earned runs on seven hits in eight innings. He struck out eight and walked three.
Andy Steeds scored Hamilton�s first run in the opening inning on an RBI-groundout by Sean Reilly. In the second Jerod Haase reached on an error and wound up scoring on a wild pitch. The Cardinals added two insurance runs in the eighth on RBI-singles by R.J. Lambert and Brandon Schmidt.
Game five is at Toronto�s Christie Pits Wednesday night at 7:30.
