Yankees tie World Series

Published November 2, 2001

NEW YORK, Nov 1: Tino Martinez and Derek Jeter broke out of hitting slumps with dramatic two-out homers in the ninth and 10th innings as the New York Yankees rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3 and even the World Series at two games apiece Wednesday.

Martinez had gone 0-for-9 in this World Series but sent his first pitch from Arizona closer Byung-Hyun Kim over the wall in right center to bring home Paul O’Neill, who had singled, and tie the game at 3-3.

Winning pitcher Mariano Rivera, the three-time defending champions’ closer, set down the Diamondbacks in the top of the 10th.

Then in the bottom of the inning, Jeter, who was just 1-for-15, fouled off a couple pitches from Kim with two strikes on him before poking a homer over the wall in right for his ninth postseason home run.

New York starter Orlando Hernandez pitched in and out of trouble but also gave up just one run in 6 1/3 innings on four hits and four walks with five strikeouts and two hit batsmen.

Yankee reliever Mike Stanton gave up two runs on two hits in one inning of work and Ramiro Mendoza contributed 1 2/3 innings of hitless relief.—Reuters
