On this day in sports history

2002: Game 6 of the World Series. The Angels rallied from a 5-0 deficit to force a game seven

1997: The Marlins hosted the Indians in Game 7 of the World Series. Al Leiter pitched for the Marlins and Jaret Wright pitched for the Indians. Tony Fernandez 3rd inning 2 run single gave the Indians a 2-0 lead. A lead that lasted until the first pitch of the 7th inning when Bobby Bonilla hit the first pitch of the Seventh Inning into the seats in right field. The Marlins would tie the game in the 9th Inning when 2nd Baseman Greg Counsell hit a Sacrifice Fly to right field to tie the game. I remember watching the game and I could not believe how loud the place got for a Sacrifice Fly. The game moved into the 11th inning and the based were loaded and Edgar Renteria would hit a walk off single to give the Marlins a 3-2 win in a Game 7 for the Ages.
