Hill allowed an RBI single to Chipper Jones in the 3rd inning, scattering 9 hits and striking out 9 in 8 innings. It wasn&#8217;t enough. Greg Maddux put on a masterclass, holding the Expos to 2 hits, while striking out 5 for his 2nd 2-hit shutout of the Tournament. The win evens the series after Montreal had a 2-0 lead. The series heads back to Atlanta for Game 5. If the Braves win that one, they&#8217;ll advance to the Best of the 1990s World Series. Ryan Klesko went 4 for 4 and is hitting over .500 in 21 at-bats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB90s\/Scoresheets\/10-03-2024_ATL_MON.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"'98 Braves @ '94 Expos - 10\/3\/24\">&#8217;98 Braves @ &#8217;94 Expos &#8211; 10\/3\/24<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ken Hill did everything he could to give the 1994 Montreal Expos a win and send things to a best-of-7 series.
