The listing, ***Old Time Baseball***Nolan Ryan*** has ended.
+ Ryan and the Mets defeat Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of the 1969 N.L. Playoffs.
The Braves' failure in this series certainly wasn't the fault of Hank Aaron. In what would be his last-ever post-season appearance, Aaron put the Braves up 2–0 in the first with a two-run homer, his third of the series.
Once again, the downfall of the Braves was their inability to stave off the hot Met hitters. Tommie Agee homered in the third, and Ken Boswell hit a two-run homer in the fourth to put the Mets on top 3–2.
Orlando Cepeda gave Braves fans a glimmer of hope by hitting a two-run home run off Gary Gentry in the fifth to put the Braves back on top, 4–3. But, in the bottom of the inning, a young Nolan Ryan singled with one out. Ryan had entered the game in the third in relief of Gentry. Wayne Garrett then homered to give the Mets a 5–4 lead, which they would not lose. Boswell added an RBI single in the same inning, and Agee singled home the final Mets run in the sixth.
