Dan Gladden charged the Ball and threw Home but the Ball bounced twice and skipped wide enough of the plate to the third base Side that Justice was Able to slide in head first ahead of Brian harpers attempted tag. Unlike the fifth game of the National league playoff when Justice missed third base on a Lemke single the runner this time got the base and the run counted. A was Long As he touched third base 1 was Happy a Lemke said smiling broadly. In game 4, scheduled for wednesday night John Smoltz was to try to get the braves even when he was matched against Jack Morris the Anchor of the twins staff who will seek his fourth Victory in this Post season period and second Over the braves. The braves snatched the extra inning Victory after squandering a 4-1 Lead. The squander ers were an unlikely pair of pitchers Steve Avery and Alejandro Pena. Avery who registered a pair of 1 -0 victories in shutting out Pittsburgh for Lola innings in the National league playoff seemed to be in command of this game As Well. But he left after an inning opening error by Terry Pendleton in the eighth and a minute later his 4-2 Lead also departed. Pena who had been perfect in save situations for the braves a 11 for 11 in the last five weeks of the season and 3 for 3 in the National league playoff a replaced Avery and Pinch hitter Chili Davis nit his second world series Home run. The twins altered the Post season Success Avery had experienced but David Justice altered the pattern of poor play into which he had plummeted in the Post season games. Justices throwing error in the fourth game of the playoff with Pittsburgh enabled the pirates to tie the game which they won in 10 innings 3-2. His fifth game base running Blunder a his failure to touch third base in route Home on a single a enabled the pirates to win 1-0, his failure to catch a pop up in Short right Field then causing Mark Lemke to drop it led to two runs in the first inning of the second game of the world series which the twins won 3-2. His failure. With Ron Gant to catch Dan Gladden Fly Ball in the first inning tuesday nigh led to the twins first run. But justices fourth inning Effort a strictly positive. Leading off the inning Justice swung at Scott Erickson a 3-pitch and drove it Over the right Fiel it Fence putting the braves ahead 2-1, that first time they had led in the series. Lonnie Smith hit a Home run with on it out in the fifth boosting the braves Lea it to 3-1. Smith has played on three differ ent world series championship teams but this was his first Home run in 81 world series times at Bat and 151 Post season at bats. In the two games in Minnesota Smith was the designated hitter. Here however he returned to his regular left Field so because in a Peculiar practice of two set of rules Only baseball tolerates the designated hitter is not used in world series games played in National league Parks. That a Why Davis was not in the twins starting lineup. He like Smith is an out fielder by defensive Trade but the Minne Sota Outfield is full without him. Justice touches All the right bases by Carrie Muskat Atlanta up Mark Lemke did no to see where his winning hit went nor the throw Home trying to catch David Justice.
