Athletics' Luck Defeats Giants in tenth inning play
New York reports say the Athletics won the third game of the series largely due to a passed ball and aggressive base running by Snodgrass in the 10th. The error by Lapp and Baker's blocking caused the decisive moment, with Merkle later caught stealing and Herzog contributing a two base hit.
