While there are many memorable moments from that game (among them Red Sox pinch hitter Bernie Carbo hitting a game- tying home run in the eighth; Reds reliever Will Mc. Enaney pitching out of a bases loaded, no out jam in the bottom of the ninth; and Boston's Dwight Evans making a spectacular eleventh- inning catch to rob Joe Morgan of a go- ahead home run), it is remembered in Boston for the walk- off home run hit in the bottom of the twelfth by Carlton Fisk. Fisk's home run gave the Sox a 7–6 win to send the series to a deciding seventh game, which the "Big Red Machine" won to clinch the first of back- to- back World Series championships. The series also included a controversial play involving Fisk and the Reds' Ed Armbrister in Game 3, Tony PГ©rez's home run off Bill Lee's blooper pitch in Game 7, and many other memorable events. This was also the eleventh consecutive World Series that did not feature the New York Yankees, the Red Sox' archrival.

This pennant drought was matched in 1. Toronto Blue Jays (an expansion team that would debut two years after this Series) winning in both years.

Carlton Fisk put the Sox on the board in the second with a solo homer off Reds starter Gary Nolan.

In the seventh, Bernie Carbo closed the gap to 5–3 with a pinch- hit solo homer off Clay Carroll. In the ninth, with ace reliever Rawly Eastwick on the mound, the Reds looked poised to close the game out and take a 2–1 Series lead.

Armbrister hesitated before running, apparently thinking the ball would go foul, and Carlton Fisk appeared to collide with him as he was retrieving the ball. Fisk attempted to fire to second to force out Geronimo, but his throw sailed high over shortstop Rick Burleson. As Geronimo went to third and Armbrister pulled into second, a brouhaha ensued, with Fisk and Sox manager Darrell Johnson arguing that Armbrister should have been ruled out for interference. Umpire Larry Barnett ruled otherwise, however. Now, the Reds had the winning run on third with no outs. Willoughby then intentionally walked Pete Rose to load the bases and set up a force play situation. Johnson then brought in left- hander Roger Moret, and Anderson countered by pinch- hitting Merv Rettenmund for Ken Griffey.

Dwight Evans tied the game with a two- run triple, then Rick Burleson put the Sox ahead by doubling in Evans off Reds starter Fred Norman.

Гіn a sacrifice fly for the other Reds runs as Don Gullett pitched eight strong innings and won with relief help from Rawly Eastwick in the ninth. Tuesday, October 2. Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts. This game would go down as one of the greatest games not only in World Series and post- season history, but baseball history as well. Thanks to three days of rain in Boston, Sox manager Darrell Johnson now had the luxury of both of his best starters, Luis Tiant and Bill Lee, available for Games 6 and 7 at home to try to stave off the Reds. Fred Lynn opened the scoring in the first with a two- out, three- run homer off Reds starter Gary Nolan.
