The 1961 New York Yankees took a 3-2 lead into the 9th, before nearly blowing it. It would take until the 14th inning for them to get it back, topping the 1969 Baltimore Orioles 5-3 to even the series between the teams. Starter Ralph Terry allowed a 2-run home run to Paul Blair, but the Yankees scraped together a run in the 4th, 5th, and 6th innings to get on top. In the 6th, they had the bases loaded and no outs, but Dave McNally forced two groundouts and struck out another to limit them to one run. Terry allowed just 4 hits heading into the 9th. Davey Johnson singled. Then, with two outs, Dave May hit a double in the gap. Johnson beat the throw from Roger Maris in a close play at the plate to tie the game. Each team was forced to use multiple relievers in extra innings. In the bottom of the 14th, Johnson bobbled a sharp grounder from Maris. Jim Hardin struck out Mickey Mantle and got Elston Howard to fly out. That’s when Moose Skowron took one over the left field wall for a 2-run walk-off homer. It was Skowron’s 3rd homer of the Tournament. He leads the Yankees with a .348 average. The series heads to Baltimore, tied 1-1.
