Parse a filename with awk and sed

I have this filename:

06142004_TEST_TEST_Z

And I'm trying to extract the 2004 from 06142004.

I'm able to get 06142004 away from the rest of the filename, but how do I get 2004 from 06142004?

The command I use to get 06142004 is:
ls -l | cut -f1 -d_ | awk '{print $9}'

Any thoughts?
