YANKEES MAKE SUBWAY SERIES!!
|
On October 17th, 24 hours 38 minutes after the Mets secured their spot in the Subway Series, the Yankees, behind a dramatic 3-run home run by David Justice, won their 37th American League pennant and a trip to their 14th Subway Series.
Early in the game the Mariners took advantage of a sluggish Orlando Hernandez to forge a 4-0 lead. The normally raucous Yankee fans were deflated as the Bombers came to bat in the bottom of the fourth inning against Brooklyn native John Halama. After Halama retired Jeter, the Yankees came alive as they loaded the bases and Jorge Posada delivered a critical two-run double to cut the Mariner's lead in half; Paul O'Neill followed with an RBI single. Tension mounted as the game moved into the seventh with the Mariners holding a slim 4-3 lead. After El Duque retired the M's in order in the top of the seventh, the scoreboard implored the Yankee faithful to chant: We Want A Hit! We Want A Hit! Jose Vizcaino, pinch hitting for a struggling Scott Brosius, answered the desperate pleas of the 56,598 on hand with a lead-off single; Knoblauch laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt moving Vizcaino, the tying run, into scoring position; and Jeter singled moving Vizcaino to third setting the stage for David Justice. Lou Piniella brought the hard-throwing Arthur Rhodes to face Justice. On a 3-1 pitch, Justice secured his place in Yankee lore with a climatic upper deck home run that gave the Yankees a 6-4 lead. Yankee Stadium was a sea of delirious fans as the Yankees continued to pound the Seattle pitchers to take a 9-4 lead into the eighth inning. Mariano Rivera closed out El Duque's major league record eighth consecutive postseason victory, but not before Mariano's streak of 33 1/3 innings of scoreless postseason relief came to end.
