steal but parker was erased at second by Yankee catcher Dan Baker
but Ramirez scampered home on the play to tie the game at 2. The
Yankees struck right back in the top of the 5th as Mark Sterling
walked stole second and went to third on the bad throw, SS Tim Nargi
then Singled Sterling home for a 3-2 Yankee lead. The Brewers
Pitcher Backe finally tired and on came Jeff Ermi for the
Brewers in the 6th, the Yankee 6th was
productive as Adam led off with a single, pinch runner Brett Spencer
then stole second, Moeller singled moving Brett to third, then 1B Yonnie Ezring singled home Spencer, Moeller moved to third on a
stolen base and scored on Steve D'Aquila single as the Yankees took
a 5-2 lead. But the Brewers always know for their hitting all

Beckner offering over the right field wall for a two run home-run as
the Brewers cut it to 5-4. The Yankees immediately got to Ermie
again in the 8th scoring 2
runs on three hits by Jon Bybee, Rick Fisher and Yonnie Ezring to
give the Yanks a 7-4 lead. The Brewers threatened with two on in the
8th but Jon Bybee got Jamie Owen to pop out to end the inning.

and Stoney Frye to score 2 more runs and take a commanding 9-4 lead.
The Brewers tried to mount one last comeback loading the basses with
only 1 out, Rick Fisher came on for the Yanks and struck out SS

the game and secure the Championship for the Yankees. .
