The Yankees began a critical series with the Orioles tonight after a rainout yesterday, and it was a classic as New York walked-off with the victory and extended their division lead to four games.
Down 2-1 entering the bottom of the ninth, Paul O’Neill and Cecil Fielder each drew walks against Randy Myers. Bernie Williams then came to the plate and singled home Ruben Rivera, who pinch ran for O’Neill. The game was tied at two.
The very next inning, Derek Jeter lead off with a single and moved to second on a bunt.
