The young Yankees shortstop had his first big Yankees moment, the kind of moment that almost seemed commonplace for his favorite player on his favorite team, Derek Jeter.
Behind that grand slam, the Yankees scored 11 in Game 4 to keep the lights on in the Bronx for one more day and provide that collective sigh of relief from both inside the clubhouse and out.
I pretty much blacked out as soon as I saw it go over the fence, Volpe said. It allowed everyone to just take a deep breath and have fun.
It was fun to see Yankee Stadium crowd, which had been muzzled for the majority of the previous 24 hours after a 4-2 loss in Game 3, finally able to let loose.
