Yankees Top Fish in Florida... Win Game 3 of the World Series
The series is now 2-1 in favor of the Yankees after the Bronx Bombers took the first game in Miami last night after a 6-1 victory over the Marlins.
Despite a rain delay and a steady rain most of the night, the pitching matchup between the Marlin's Josh Beckett (10 Ks) and the Yank's aloof Mike Mussina was a classic, with Mussina out pitching the young gun after Beckett seemed to dominate Yankees hitters.
Derek Jeter led the way with three hits and started two big rallies. Hideki "Godzilla" Matsui's RBI single in the 8th inning broke a 1-1 tie. Then in the ninth, Bernie Williams put the game out of reach with his record setting 19th post-season homerun (Mickey Mantle had 18, all in the World Series... Williams has 5). Mo Rivera pitched two scoreless innings to seal the win.
I'm pumped for tonight's game: Roger Clemens takes on Carl Pavano in Game 4, which will be his last start... ever?
