The 1998 Atlanta Braves and the 1994 Montreal Expos scored 11 runs in the 1st 3 innings, but it wasn’t until the 9th that all of the excitement happened. Tom Glavine allowed 3 runs in back-to-back innings, including a 2-run home run to Moisés Alou. But Pedro Martínez wasn’t sharp either. Javy López hit a 2-run double in the 3rd to cut the Montreal lead to 6-5, and then hit a 2-run homer to give Atlanta a lead in the 5th. Kevin Millwood pitched 4 strong 2-hit innings of relief. Tim Scott and Mel Rojas combined for 3 scoreless relief innings for the Expos. Kerry Ligtenberg came in to close out the 9th, but Lou Frazier walked and stole 2nd. Marquis Grissom dribbled one back to the mound for the 2nd out. Juan Bell, who was hitting below .200 in the Tournament, hit a single up the middle to tie the game. In the bottom of the 9th, Rojas got two quick outs before Chipper Jones hit a homer to walk it off. With the 8-7 win, the Braves took the last 3 games of the series after losing the 1st two. They now advance to the Best of the 1990s World Series. Montreal heads home after the heart-breaking loss. Alou finished the Tournament with a .440 average.
