Spoiler Spos take 2 of 3 from Bravos

9/23 - Braves Field - Boston - MA
GAME 1 - Expos 5, Braves 1
Jerry Robinson pitched the game of his life and Elroy Face turned back father time to finish it. The Expos exploded for 3 runs in the 2nd off of J.Wilson, when banjo hitting Bobby Wine hit a 3 run shot out of the 8th hole. Wine recorded his 4th RBI of the day with a sac fly in the 4th as the Expos won this one easily.

9/24
GAME 2 - Braves 6, Expos 1
Boston turned the tables on Montreal and won this one easily behind 6 solid innings from young Lew Burdette. Jester came on in the 7th and recorded the rare 3 inning save, where no runners reached base. The Expos lone run came on a Coco Laboy sac fly in the 1st. Boston finally got on the board with 2 in the 4th, 1 in the 5th, 2 in the 6th and 1 in the 7th off of Bill Stoneman who accomplished little more than eating up innings. Rookie Eddie Mathews was 3 for 4 with an RBI.

9/25 - Jarry Parc - Montreal - QC
GAME 3 - Expos 4, Braves 3
Warren Spahn pitched well enough to win, but a 3 run hiccup in the 4th did him in. Rusty Staub and Coco Laboy led off with singles and moved over to third on Mack Jones' sac bunt. Bob Baily hit a warning track shot to right to score Staub and make it 2-1 BSN. Catcher John Brand (3-4) Singled home Laboy and went to second on the throw to the plate. Wine singled home Brand 3 pitches later to put the 'spos up 3-2. With 2 outs in the top of the 5th Boston tied the game up. Sam Jethroe singled and promptly stole second. Johnny Logan's opposite field single to right scored Jethroe easily. The game remained tied until the bottom of the 6th when Montreal went ahead for good. Mack Jones singled and stole 2nd with 2 outs. Bobby Wine was intentionally passed, in order to face Mike Wegener, Montreal's pitcher. Manny Mota, like so many times in his career, was summoned from the bench to pinch hit in a key situation. Mota delivered a frozen rope to center to score Jones. Howie Reed pitched two scoreless innings and Dan McGinn closed it out with some suspense. After walking the first 2 Braves in the 9th (Mathews & Torgeson), Bob Thorpe bunted to push the runners up 90 feet. McGinn got a key strike out by fanning Paul Burris and Billy Reed grounded weakly to second to end it as the resurgent Expos took their second series in a row as they gamefully play the role of spoiler.
