Road Win Lifts Birmingham to 2-1 Lead in CS
When the stakes were high, Tom Smith raised his game to match.

The left-handed Smith turned in a stellar performance in Game 3 of the League Championship Series today, pitching a 9-inning, complete-game shutout to lead the Birmingham Black Magic to victory. He allowed 8 hits and struck out 1. The win gave Birmingham a 2-1 lead over the Saint Louis Canaries in the best-of-7 series.

Birmingham used a well-timed hit by Ward Mitchell to capture the win. The catcher socked a run-scoring double in the top of the second inning to put the Black Magic ahead, 1-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Mitchell.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Wednesday, September 17th , 1902.
