Game 3 of the World Series Friday night on FOX averaged a 3.1 adult 18-49 (3.08 more precisely) in the official national ratings, below the recent 2007-2013 average of a 3.5 adult 18-49 rating for Game 3 but above the previous lows for Game 3 in 2012 (2.8) and 2010 (2.9), also featuring the San Francisco Giants in their recent successful World Series runs.  Nonetheless, the numbers remain sluggish, at best.
