World Series G3: Pen saves DC from poor Shantz start; win 5-3 on cold night

Chips 5, Slam Dumps 4
The DC Chips pen was one of the best in the league during the regular season. On this cold late October night, they proved once again how critical a bullpen can be to success. DC starter Bobby Shantz was chased from the game early, not making it through the 4th inning. On came the trio of Joe Neale, Doc White, and Mariano Rivera to shut down Newark to the tune of 4 hits and 1-run in 5 1/3 innings.

This allowed the Chips offense to extend a slight lead and go on to win 5-3. Rickey Henderson homered and drove in two and Derek Jeter tripled and singled.
