A
Tale Of Two Comebacks
Two strong games between
the Yankees (Toro) and the A’s (Matta). In Game 1, the A's took a 13-4 lead
into the 7th (last inning). The Yankees mounted a charge in the top
of the 7th by scoring 7 runs. It was not enough and the A’s tallied a
13-11 win. Jeff Stier had an outstanding game in the field at SS, robbing the
Yankees of several hits. TQ (Tony Quinones) had a HR for the A’s.
Game two was a hitter’s
delight. Both teams colored in the scorecard. Just like in game 1, the A’s took
a big lead into the last inning 21-14. Just like in game 1, the Yankees staged a
big comeback in the last inning. This time
they did not fall short. They had timely hits by all the batters they sent to
the plate, winning the game 22-21. Nick Burns and Bobby Reagen, each had a HR
for the A’s. Dave Doerbaum had a Grand Slam, in the 7th, for the
Yankees.
