Billy Pierce outduels Whitey Ford – Giants tie the series at 3 games each

On October 15, 1962 at Candlestick Park, in a battle of left-handed starting pitchers, Billy Pierce outdueled Whitey Ford with a complete-game three-hitter as the Giants evened the series at three wins apiece with a 5–2 victory. They struck first in the fourth when after a single and walk, an error on an attempted pickoff by Ford allowed a run to score, then Orlando Cepeda’s double and Jim Davenport’s single scored a run each. They added to their lead next inning on RBI singles by Felipe Alou and Cepeda. The Yankees’ only runs came on a Maris home run in the fifth inning and an RBI single by Tony Kubek in the eighth inning after a one-out double.
