The 1997 World Series would end with a pair of pitchers’ duels, but the early parts of the Fall Classic had plenty of offense. The highest scoring contest from the series came on this day 25 years ago.
With the series tied 1-1, the scene shifted from South Florida to Cleveland on Oct. 21, 1997. Ultimately, a seven-run ninth inning was the difference as the Florida Marlins regained the series lead with a 14-11 win over the Cleveland Indians.
After losing with ace Kevin Brown on the mound in Game 2, Florida starter Al Leiter was far from his best in Game 3.
