I'm not sure how the team that lost each game by one run, would have more runs scored than the team that is advancing. If a team wins all four games, by any score, they have scored at least 4 more runs than the losing team.
You'd have to have the team advancing lose at least one game, and lose that game by at least 5 runs in order for you example to make sense, assuming it is a best of seven games series.
