Yankees 2, Broncos 1
Bryan Gauvin outdueled Chino Roman as the Yanks win a nail biter in their last at bat with a 2-out, 2 strike based loaded hit by Todd Steffanides. Gauvin struck out a playoff record 19 batters while allowing just 3 hits and 1 unearned run in 7 innings. Roman came up with some huge strikeouts (14 total) while allowing just 1 ER.
The Yanks drew 1st blood when AJ Bucciarelli knocked in Nick Stenzel with a triple in the 3rd inning. Bucciarelli had a huge night going 3-3 with an RBI, a double and a triple. The Broncos then tied it in the 6th thanks to a Pedro Flores single, a stolen base and a few Yankee’s miscues.
Tied 1-1 going into the bottom of the 7th, Mike Moloney started the ralley with a double to left. After a walk to Paul Szumita and a perfectly executed sacrifice bunt by Stenzel, the Broncos intentionally walked Bucciarelli to load the bases. Steffanides then delivered the winning run with a topspin single up the middle. |
