Christ Church drops series to Watkins

Game Three was a see-saw affair.  Watkins opened the scoring with a home run in the fourth.  Mike Peak tied the game driving in a run with his third triple of the night.  Watkins added a homer in the fifth, but Mike Thompson doubled and Clete Thompson gave Christ Church a 3-2 lead with a home run.  Watkins tied it the next inning with another home run and it remained 3-3 until yet another Watkins home run gave them a 4-3 lead in the ninth inning.  Mike Thompson and Bob Stone doubled to tie it in the bottom of the inning, but in the tenth, Watkins scored a run on a pair of doubles and Christ Church could not match them to drop Game Three 5-4.
