New York came into this one riding what must have been an euphoric high. Six outs from losing a series to the Blue Jays, Bernie Williams and Paul O'Neill hit grand slams in the eighth and ninth innings to stun Toronto.
The bats staked Andy to an immediate lead. After a Tony Fernández throwing error allowed Derek Jeter to reach second with one out in the first, one of the previous game's heroes stepped to the dish.
From there, Pettitte and his steely stare took over for the next while. Through the first three innings, Andy only needed 37 pitches to get the first nine outs.
The fourth frame, however, was an entirely different beast. First, Hall of Very Good inductee Carlos Delgado led off with a solo smash. The dinger is unsurprising, considering Delgado's track record against the Yankees.
