Down by a run late, the 1961 New York Yankees tied the game in the 8th, only to strand the bases loaded with no outs in extra innings, and watch the 1964 Chicago White Sox walk it off in the 11th inning. The Yankees got in front early against Joe Horlen when Elston Howard singled in Mickey Mantle in the 2nd inning. In the bottom of the inning, Pete Ward hit a solo home run off Bill Stafford to tie things up. Gene Stephens tripled in another run and scored on a sacrifice fly by Ron Hansen, giving Chicago a 3-1 lead. Floyd Robinson singled in another run in the 5th. The Yankees’ Bill Skowron hit a 2-run double with 2 outs to cut the lead to 4-3. In the 8th, Yogi Berra hit a solo homer to tie things up and give New York some hope of a comeback. In the 10th, the Yankees loaded the bases with no outs against Hoyt Wilhelm, but Johnny Blanchard struck out, and Howard popped out before Skowron grounded out to end the threat. They wouldn’t get another chance. In the bottom of the 11th, facing Hal Reniff, J.C. Martin drew a one-out walk, and Tommy McCraw singled, before Don Buford hit a walk-off single to give Chicago a 5-4 win and a 2-1 series lead. If Chicago can win the series, they’ll force a best-of-7 against New York.
