The Monks were trailing the Dodgers 2-0 heading into the third inning when Vincent Dauphin and Alberto Vazquez led off the inning with back to back singles. An RBI double by Pedro Torres would cut the Dodgers lead in half, while a passed ball would tie the game, and an RBI single by Pat Thompson would give the Monks a 3-2 lead.
Lawrence Sutton would pick up an RBI single, Pat Thompson would score on a wild pitch, and Bryce Frederick would hit a two run homer before the third inning was over and the Monks would take a 6-2 lead.
Eddy Cook would struggle on the mound tonight though, giving up 4 runs in 4 innings, but the Monks would build enough of a cushion that our bullpen was able to hold on. Eddie Hill would pitch 3 scoreless innings out of the pen to pick up the win while Cristo Hernandez would pick up his fourth save to preserve the Monks 7-5 win.
With a 3-2 series lead the Monks need just one more win to win our first World Series title.
