NLCS Game 3
Otherton Fishbiscuits @ Ee-Yah Orators
In an exiting game that saw eight different lead changes or lead ties, the Otherton Fishbiscuits took a commanding 3 games to 0 lead over the Ee-Yah Orators. First Basemen Bill Terry paved the way with 5 hits, a walk, a key stolen base, and the ultimate game winning single in the 10th.
Ken Tekulve was brought in to protect a 1-run lead in the bottom of the 9th but blew the save on a Josh Hamiilton double that scored King Kelly. The Orators had a chance to win it, but left runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs, letting Tekulve off the hook, and sending the game into extra innings.
Neither starting pitcher performed particularly well, each giving up 3 runs on 10 hits. Fred Clarke, Max Carey, and Placid Polanco had two hits each for Otherton; King Kelly and Cap Anson went 3-6 in the loss for Ee-Yah.
The Orators try to avoid the sweep tomorrow, sending Pedro Martinez to the mound on short rest. He'll face Lefty Stewart.
