The playoff game in Cleveland is scoreless until the top of the seventh when the Yankees take a 2-0 lead, but in the bottom of the seventh, Cerrano finally connects on a curve ball and hits a two-run homer to tie the game. The ninth inning begins with Harris loading the bases after recording two outs. The Yankees best hitter Clu Haywood is next to bat. Earlier in the season Haywood faced Vaughn and hit a home run. Lou decides to bring in Vaughn to relieve Harris. Vaughn strikes out Haywood on three straight fastballs with the third pitch clocked at 101 miles per-hour. In the bottom of the inning, the Yankees bring out "The Duke" (Willie Mueller), their headhunting closer. Hayes singles and steals second base. When Hayes takes off for third base on the next pitch, Taylor lays down an unexpected bunt. Hayes then catches the Yankees off guard by rounding third and dashing for home. He scores, and the Indians win the game.
