in the tenth inning of game 3 , with teammate césar gerónimo on base and nobody out , armbrister collided with boston red sox catcher carlton fisk while attempting to sacrifice bunt , leading to a wild throw by fisk and his subsequent failure to get gerónimo out ; home plate umpire larry barnett did not make the expected interference call on armbrister , a decision which was harshly criticized after the reds won the game 6 -- 5 .
