Game Three was big. So was Willie Foster.

The Sacramento starter rose to the occasion at Shibe Park today, earning player of the game honors after leading the Solons to a crucial 7-2 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics. Foster threw 9 innings allowing 2 runs as the Solons won on the road to seize a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 World Series.

Frank Demaree chipped in for Sacramento with a solo home run in the top of the sixth. For the game, the left fielder had 3 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 2 singles, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"Every team in baseball loses," Athletics manager Connie Mack said. "We're in the playoffs and we still have the same guys that got us here. We'll bounce back."

Game 4 is set to be played Sunday, October 18th, 1931 in Sacramento. The scheduled starters for the game are Syl Johnson for Philadelphia and Lefty Vinci for Sacramento.
