Game 3
10/5
Pena v. Sanderson
6-3 L to the Expos
This was not the Alejandro Pena that we paid to see. The Expos just brute forced this game to their will. That's about the best way that I can put it. LA opened scoring in the second inning on Dwayne Murphy rushed home on a Pena single. The top of the third would start poorly. Back to back singles by Sanderson and Raines, followed by Hawk hitting a 3-run, 379ft shot into the bullpen in left. But LA would answer right back in the bottom. Randolph singled, Evans walked, then Bobby Grich hit a deep double to left that tied it up. It looked like it would be on. But Montreal answered right back again. Singles by LeFlore, Raines. Yount would plate LeFlore. Wallach would plate Raines and they jumped right back. The Expos added a 6th in the 7th off of Franco. All in all the Expos had 17 hits. Pena allowed 12 of them over 6 innings and 5 runs. Again Jim Fanning went to his pen early and it paid off as LA had no fight back in them on this night. Montreal takes a 2-1 lead.


Game 4
10/6
Wilcox v. Gullickson
6-2 W over the Expos
The 'Spos started off right where game 3 ended. Raines lead off with a double then later tagged on a Wallach flyout. That early run put the bad thoughts in my head. Our boys would have our backs though. In the bottom of the first UL Washington walked, then scored when Dwight Evans sent the first pitch 400ft into the left field pavillion. We scored again in the 2nd when Mike Scioscia cracked a 383ft opposite field homer to left. We tacked on 2 more in the 3rd when Bobby Grich singled home both Randolph and Marshall to put us up 5-1. Milt Wilcox took over and got some solid defense. Twice getting Gary Carter to ground into double plays to end an inning. LA would put the 6th run on the board in the 5th when Mike Marshall, who had singled and moved to third on a Evans double, scored on a wild pitch by Gullickson. Montreal threatened in the 9th and Lasorda brought Tanana in to finish them off. He allowed 1, but then got Tim Raines looking on strikes to end it. Series is tied 2-2.
