World Series Game 2

Mazdahonda vs. another Ute lefty, Bob Zimmerman.

New York uses the same lineup, while Utah goes with their defense, playing Juan Ordonez at 2B. There was no score until the 4th, when Utah explodes for 5 runs. The inning was highlighted by back to back homers by Frank Lewis and Lou Zamuda. New York starts to claw back on a Tim Griffin solo homer in the 5th, a 2-run homer by Chad White in the 6th, and a Manfred Mueller sacrifice fly in the 7th. Going to the top of the 8th, Utah leads 5-4, and elects to bring in saving Ute, Henry Rollins for the 6 out save, figuring the season is on the line. Rollins breezes through the inning, and in the bottom half, the Utes add 2 insurance runs. on solo homeruns from Doug Dodson and Del Holdsworth, Dodson being in the game as a defensive replacement at 3B for Eddie Davis. With a 7-4 lead in the 9th, New York pinch hits Johnny Ray for Bob Zygyk, who is followed by Ricky Buckley and Manfred Mueller. Rollins gets Ray to fly out to center, Buckley to strike out, and Mueller to ground out to short to end the game, and tie the series at 1 game apiece. We now head to New York for games 3, 4, and 5.
