With Timo Perez on first, Todd Zeile drilled a 0-and-2 pitch to deep-left but it ricocheted off the top of the fence and was fielded by David Justice - who relayed to Derek Jeter - who pegged home plate to retire the runner.
More of an offensive blooper than a defensive gem, Perez's inexperience on the base path clearly cost his team a prime run scoring opportunity. Aware that they had just "dodged a bullet", the Yankees responded with Justice launching a two run double to the left-centerfield gap in the bottom of the inning for the go-ahead score. Then Bubba Trammell hit a clutch, two run pinch-single that tied it up at three-all.
Three innings later, Jose Vizcaino's single to left against Turk Wendell with two outs in the twelfth ended the longest game ever in the World Series four hours, fifty-one minutes. The second meeting found the Mets still trying to catch up to their counterparts and they would come close - very close. Clemens started strong and threw two hit shutout ball for eight innings, striking out nine and walking none, but the Nationals threatened to comeback with a five run rally in the ninth.
Ace closer Mariano Rivera struggled initially surrendering a homer but managed to regain his composure long enough to seal a clutch, win that sent the heartbroken Mets crawling back home. In Game 3 the Mets went ahead quickly on Robin Ventura's leadoff homer in the second , but the visitors didn't stay behind for long. They tied it against Rick Reed in the third as Derek Jeter hit a two out single followed by a Justice double to the right-field corner.
Then they sprinted ahead in the fourth as Paul O'Neill tripled to right-center driving home Tino Martinez. The Mets surged ahead and tied it at two in the sixth on a Todd Zeile double.
The Series moved to Shea Stadium for Game 3, and the Mets climbed back into the Series while ending a couple of impressive Yankees streaks. With a victory, the Mets snapped the Yankees' game World Series streak and handed Orlando Hernandez his first-ever postseason defeat he had been Benny Agbayani gave the Mets the win with a go-ahead double in the eighth inning.
John Franco, appearing in his first World Series ever, got the victory and Armando Benitez redeemed himself by closing out the win that closed the Series to The Yankees made a strong statement quickly in Game 4.
On the first pitch of the game, Derek Jeter homered off of Bobby J. Jones to give the defending champs a lead. The Yankees added single runs in the second and third innings to take a lead. Paul O'Neill tripled and scored on Scott Brosius' sac fly in the second and Jeter scored the third run by tripling in the third inning and coming home on Luis Sojo's groundout.
The Mets did claw back into the game on Mike Piazza's two-run blast in the bottom of the third, but they couldn't find a way to tie the score against the Yankees bullpen. David Cone relieved Denny Neagle to face Piazza in the fifth and got him to pop out. It was another one-run game, but the Yankees were now just one win away from three-peating. Game 5 featured another battle between the two lefties who started this Series, Leiter and Pettitte.
