Drew Pomeranz (11-3, 2.30 ERA) vs. Ubaldo Jimenez (9-9, 5.95 ERA)
Facing a 2-games-to-1 deficit, Parkland knew that Game 3 was a virtual "must win" game. In response, the Green sent Ubaldo Jimenez to the mound, but surely would not hesitate to turn to its deep bullpen as early as needed. Fleetwood countered with lefty Drew Pomeranz, but also would likely have its full bullpen at the ready as well.

| Joey Votto RBI single in 1st inning |
Neither team scored in the 2nd inning, but Fleetwood responded in the 3rd. Francisco Cervelli and Ian Kinsler led off the frame with back-to-back singles. Tommy Pham followed with a sacrifice fly, tying the game 1-1. After a Mike Trout fly out, Justin Turner collected a two-out RBI single to give Fleetwood a 2-1 lead.
In the 4th inning, Fleetwood mounted another rally. Curt Casali got things started with a one-out single, and Mookie Betts followed with a single of his own. That hit knocked Jimenez out of the game in favor of Jeremy Jeffress. Jeffress surrendered an RBI single to Cervelli before retiring Kinsler on a double-play ground out to end the threat. Fleetwood now led 3-1.
In the bottom of the same 4th inning, Fleetwood shortstop Carlos Correa committed a costly throwing error that put leadoff hitter Jose Bautista on second base. Pomeranz retired Francisco Lindor and Khris Davis thereafter, but then walked Luis Valbueno and served up a single to Mike Zunino to load the bases. That hit drove Pomeranz from the game in favor of righty Erik Goeddel.
Despite an impressive regular season, Goeddel was not up the challenge. He walked Melky Cabrera, forcing in a run. Ben Zobrist followed with an RBI single, and Parkland tied the game 3-3.

| Jose Fernandez: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K. |
Parkland called on Pedro Strop to close out the game. Strop retired Derek Norris on a ground out, and then Mookie Betts on a strikeout. With Fleetwood lefty Chris Coghlan due up next, Parkland took the ball out of Strop's hand and gave it to lefty Brandon Finnegan. Fleetwood quickly countered with David Wright, who mashed lefties like Finnegan in the regular season (.372 average, .429 on-base percentage, .603 slugging percentage).
David Wright indeed scorched a Finnegan offering for a vicious line drive, but one that found itself squarely in the glove of Parkland shortstop Francisco Lindor for the inning's final out. Parkland had collected both a hard-earned win and a vital series split.
Final score: Parkland 4, Fleetwood 3.
W: Jose Fernandez (1-0)
L: Carson Smith (0-1)
SV: Brandon Finnegan (1)
HR: Joey Votto (3)
Series tied 2-2.
