Mets make a miracle in 15th inning
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—After a 15-inning classic, the New York Mets are halfway to their most stunning comeback.
Robin Ventura's grand slamturned single drove home the winning run and gave the New York Mets a classic 4-3 victory against the Atlanta Braves in Game 5 of the NL championship series, the longest postseason contest in baseball history.

Finally, about 10 minutes later, they announced the official ruling: Ventura was credited with a run-scoring single.
even the official scorer knew what the final margin was: 4-3, 6-3 or 7-3.
But the margin didn't matter. The Mets forced a Game 6 in Atlanta on Tuesday night.
Shawon Dunston led off the home half of the 15th with a single to center against 22-year-old rookie
Kevin McGlinchey, who then walked pinch-hitter Matt Franco.
With the Shea Stadium crowd drowning out the sound of jets飞行 overhead, Ventura, who was 1-for-18 in the series, drove a 1-1 pitch over the left-field wall for an apparent grand slam.
He didn't get a chance to circle the bases, but it didn't matter. A run-scoring single — the official score on the play — was good enough to cap an incredible day.

BOSTON — Taking advantage of Buckner's curse as much as the Bambino, the New York Yankees moved within one victory of their third trip to the World Series in four seasons.
Pitcher Bret Saberhagen's bungled throw allowed the go-ahead run to score in the fourth innings, and the Boston Red Sox committed three

Sox went back to their old, bumbling ways.
With New York clinging to a 3-2 lead in the eighth, a second-base umpire blew a key call for the second time in the best-of-7 series.
After a close call at first base went against the Red Sox opening the ninth, the game was stopped after manager Jimy Williams was ejected, and fans threw bottles and other objects on the field.
