Game 1
Yanks - 4
Boston - 3 10 inn
  
NEW YORK - Bernie Williams hit the game-winning
homer off Rod Beck to lift the New York Yankees to
a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series
Wednesday night. In the first postseason game ever between the traditional rivals, the
Yankees won their
11th straight postseason game. Boston jumped out to a 3-0 lead after Jose Offerman's RBI
infield single in the second, but Brosius hit a two-run homer in the bottom half of the
inning off surprise starter Kent
Mercker and Jeter tied the game in the seventh with an RBI single off Derek Lowe. Brosius
crashed into catcher Jason Varitek, who had plenty of time to corral the ball but couldn't
handle the one-hop throw from right-fielder Trot Nixon. In the top of the 10th, the
Yankees' Chuck Knoblauch allowed
Brosius' throw from third on John Valentin's grounder to pop out of the webbing of his
glove, but second-base umpire Rick Reed blew the call, deciding Knoblauch was transferring
the ball to his throwing hand and calling Offerman out on a force. Boston's Daubach then
hit into an inning-ending
double play. - USA Today
