Game Summary (may have spoilers)
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The New York Yankees faced the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 4 of the 1950 World Series at Yankee Stadium, with Whitey Ford starting for the Yankees and Bob Miller on the mound for the Phillies. New York aimed to complete a sweep of the series, having controlled the first three games. The Yankees' lineup, led by Joe DiMaggio and Yogi Berra, entered the contest with confidence, while the Phillies, known as the "Whiz Kids," needed a win to extend their postseason hopes. The game was a critical moment in a World Series that had already showcased strong pitching and timely hitting.
The Yankees quickly established control in the first inning, taking advantage of an error and timely hits by Yogi Berra and Joe DiMaggio to score two early runs. Ford delivered a dominant performance, silencing the Phillies' offense through eight innings, allowing only scattered hits. In the sixth, Berra added to the lead with a solo home run, and Bobby Brown's triple capped a three-run inning. The Phillies attempted a rally in the ninth inning, capitalizing on a pair of Yankee errors and adding two unearned runs, but Allie Reynolds closed the door to secure the victory.
The Yankees' 5-2 win clinched their 13th World Series championship, marking their second sweep in three years. Ford's poise on the mound and Berra's contributions at the plate were instrumental in the win. The Phillies' promising season ended on a sour note, though their young core remained a bright spot for the future. The Yankees' dominance reaffirmed their position as the premier franchise in baseball during the era.
