WORLD SERIES GAME 1

YANKEES TAKE GAME 1, 4-3

The Yankees and Pirates dueled it out for 10 innings at Three Rivers until the 10th inning when ARod smashed a solo HR to win it for the Yanks 4-3. Dock Ellis and CC Sabathia were dealing most of the game. Dock was great until he faltered in the 8th where he gave up 2 runs that tied the game at 3. A couple of walks, then a Mark Teixeria triple, followed by a Johnny Damon double got the Yankees back into the game. That was the end of Dock's day.
Fast forward to the 10th inning where Ramon Hernandez had just come in, Alex Rodriguez greeted him with a deep drive over the centerfield wall at Three Rivers. Then Mariano Riveria closed out the Pirates in the bottom of the 10th. Yankees win 4-3. Lead WS 1-0.

Player of the Game - Alex Rodriguez
