The 1990 squad lead Game 3, 4-2, after five innings, threatening to go up 3 games to 0. In the sixth, though, Pat Combs’s control failed him, and he walked home a run to draw the 1990 squad within one. In the eighth, Manny Trillo knotted things up with an RBI single, which locked the two teams into extra innings, where Pete Rose delivered a walk-off single in the twelfth to bring the ‘81 club back into the series.
