and what is the meaning of eighth ninth etc. in this context.
Thanks.

Actually, both are possible. The lead/leading run could be the one which allowed them to win the game. (also, "the winning run.")
"a three-run lead" would mean that the leading team at that point had scored three more runs than the losing team.
Perhaps in the end, they beat them by a three-run margin.
