Southpaw rookie Will Leineweber goes the distance allowing just 2 hits while striking out 6. Game cruised until the 4th where both teams had their first true chance to score. But as the Cutters leave 2 men on in the top half of the inning, the A's would do the same, both miss chances. The fifth would prove to be different as Rob Macdonald triples in 2 runs. Again, in the bottom half, the A's try to do the same and load the bases with 2 outs and could not plate a run. Rob Maca again added an RBI with a sac fly in the 7th to account for the entire game's 3 RBI and that would be all Leineweber would need. Game 4 Tuesday

Cutters work horse Dan Wilson gets the nod and even though the Sox compiled double digit hits, Wilson throws a complete game to advance the Cutters. Cutters jumped out in the top of first with 2 runs but in bottom half, Sox put first 2 guys on but the Cutters spin a double play. Move to the third, Cutters get 4 more including a bases clearing double by Levensaler but in bottom of the third, a moonshot dinger by Foote helps Sox cut lead to 6-3 but they leave the bases juiced. 6-3 game until the 6th. From there, the Cutters pull away by putting up a combined 8 runs in the 6th and 7th. Cutters would make extra base runners hurt by taking advantage of an astounding 15 free base runners, 10 walks and 5 hit batters. 7 of the 9 starters reached base safely at least 3 times. For the series, Cutters play smooth D including several nice double plays and would not make their first error of the series until game 3.
