Boone, New York off to World Series The Yankees defeat Boston in the 11th Thursday night in New York to go to its sixth World Series in eight years By Philip Hersh Chicago Tribune (KRT) NEW YORK—This time, the Boston Red Sox cannot blame failure on the sale of Babe Ruth, or the ground ball that went through Bill Buckner's legs, or Johnny Pesky holding the ball. This time, Boston lost Game 7 of the American League Championship Series — 6-5 to the New York Yankees — on Aaron Boone's first-pitch home run in the bottom of the 11th inning Thursday night; there was no doubt who would get the blame. Manager Grady Little. Little's inexplicable decision not to take starter Pedro Martinez out of the game in the eighth inning before he could give up three game-tying runs and leave the potential leading run on second base will go forever into the Red Sox's chamber of horrors. Boone launched Tim Wakefield's first knuckleball in the bottom of the 11th over the left-field wall, just inside the foul pole Wakefield, who won Games 1 and 4 for the Red Sox, had entered in the 10th. Mariano Rivera fended off two Red Sox scoring chances in pitching the final three innings to pick up the win. Martinez is the Boston ace but he had pitched more than seven innings only five times in his 33 previous starts. He had been in trouble during the seventh inning, giving up Jason Gi ambi's second homer of the game cut ting the Boston lead to 4-2, and two more hits before striking out Alfonso Soriano for the fourth straight time. Boston's third homer of the game; by David Ortiz, made the maigin an appar ently more comfortable 5-2. It figured Little would open the eighth with Mike Timlin, who hid retired 25 of the 26 bat ters he had faced in the postseason. But Martinez still pitched, getting Nick Johnson to pop up for the first out Derek Jeter doubled. Martinez still pitched. Bemie Williams singled to drive in Jeter. Martinez still pitched. Hideki Matsui doubled, sending Williams to third. Martinez still pitched. Jorge Posada hit a bloop double to center, scoring Williams and Matsui, trying the game 5-5. Martinez was re lieved by Alan Embree. "The largest factor with our ball club is they just don't quit," little said before the game." Grinding and bopping. The Red Sox bats came back to life in Game 6, and they wound up with 11 home runs against the Yankees, a record for an American league Championship Se ries. They hit two off Roger Clemens, by Trot Nixon, his third of the series, and Kevin Millar, and the last by David Or tiz off Game 5 winner David Wells. Between the trillion-decibel volume of the sound system and the stunningly loud noise coming from the 56,879 Yankee Stadium spectators on almost every Clemens pitch in the first inning, it was fandemonium in the South Bronx. The Red Sox rocked Clemens in the second inning, beginning with Ortiz's liner to center for the first out. That was followed by Millar's long single to cen ter, Nixon's homer deep to right-center field and Jason Varitek's double to right. Varitek scored when third baseman Enrique Wilson made a wild throw on a routine grounder. Wilson, in the lineup because he had past success against Martinez, made three errors in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series. (c) 2003, Chicago Tribune.
