With the series tied at 1, game 3 would determine who would advance in the playoffs. In the bottom of the 3rd, Ryan Roberts walked, stole second, and scored on a double from Jason Bourgeois. With 2 outs, Troy Tulowitzki singled, scoring Bourgeois for a 2-0 Concord lead. In the top of the 4th, with runners at the corners, James Loney lined out, scoring a runner to cut Concord's lead to 1. Lance Berkman hit a solo home run in the bottom of the inning to put the Minutemen up 3-1. The score would remain 3-1 Concord heading into the top of the 9th. Jordan Walden was pitching for Concord. Pinch hitter John Jaso singled. Now representing the tying run was pinch hitter Danny Worth. Worth struck out for out #2. With 1 on, down by 2 and with 2 outs, Cameron Maybin was at the plate. Maybin would not be the hero today, striking out to end the game and the Caution's season. Concord wins game 3 by a score of 3-1 to take this 2011 Round 0 series and advance to the next round of the playoffs.
