In the bottom of the twenty-second inning, with both starting pitchers still in the game, Don Richmond lines a single down the right-field line, plating Dick Cole to give Rochester a 3-2 victory over Jersey City at Red Wing Stadium. Tom Poholsky, after yielding two unearned runs in the top of the second, goes on to hurl 20 consecutive scoreless innings for the complete-game victory, but is matched zero-for-zero, until the last inning, by opposing J. C. Giants pitcher Andy Tomasic, who also goes the distance after giving up single runs in the first and second frames.

The Reds can’t shake off the Giants in Game 3 of the NLDS, allowing a pair of runs on a sacrifice fly in the 3rd and a passed ball and error in the 10th inning to lose, 2 – 1. The loss negates a great effort by P Homer Bailey, who allows one hit over 7 innings and strikes out 10. San Francisco gets only three hits all night. Ryan Vogelsong gives up a 1st-inning run for the Giants, but then settles down, and the bullpen is airtight as well, allowing San Francisco to hold on until they win the game in extra frames.
