DODGERS ONE GAME AWAY


Tommy Lasorda gave his team a challange on the long flight accross the country to Miami for Game 3. He challanged his team to win the hard way and take two on the raod returning home with the series rather then another game to play. True baseball motivation works and the Dodgers responded.

Behind underated starter Tim Belcher, 8 strong innings of one earned run, the Dodgers eased their way to a 7-2 game 3 win and are now one game away from making their manager proud.

A series that has seen a lack of home runs continued that way in this one as Kirk Gibson and John Shelby combined to drive in 5 of the 7 runs. It seems as if a different player steps up for this team each game.

The fish will throw Carl Pavano on the mound in what is a huge matchup for both teams, because above everything the Dodgers dont want to have to face Josh Beckett again,
