World Series Game 3 - "Won'tcha come home Ed Bailey"


GAME 3 - County Stadium
Lawrence vs Augustine
Reds 5, Brewers 3 (10 inn)

A must win for the Redlegs if they were going to stay in the series.  Cincy jumped out to a 3-0 lead on Jerry Augustine, who eventually go real stingy.  The Brew crew chipped away and finally tied it up with a solo run in the 8th when Larry Hisle doubled home Cooper.  On a 1 out single by Gorman Thomas, Hisle attempted to score from second.  In what was surely the turning point of the game and quite possibly the series Frank Robinson pegged Hisle at the plate to prevent the go ahead run.  In the top of the 10th the Reds victimized reliever Bill Castro for 3 singles in a row, with Ed Bailey providing the go ahead RBI.  Acker set the Brew Crew down in the bottom of the 10th to protect the much needed win for the Reds.
Brewers lead series 2-1
