Marlins Come Back From 10-Run Deficit, Win in 11
|
For four and a half innings the sixth timeline looked like the fourth in miniature — Florida ahead, Nagy laboring, the night settling into its familiar verdict. Charles Johnson's two-run homer in the second (394 feet on a 2-2 count, the ball clearing left-center like a rumor leaving a room) established the posture, and back-to-back solo shots from Counsell and Cliff Floyd in the fifth stretched it to 4-0. In the drizzle at Jacobs Field, the crowd had begun the quiet arithmetic of early departure.
Then the bottom of the fifth happened. Ten runs. Nine hits. The lineup batted around and then some. Ramirez walked, Fernandez doubled him home, and what followed was less a rally than a rupture in the evening's logic: Grissom singling, Vizquel grinding through a nine-pitch walk, Roberts ripping a double at 99 miles per hour, Justice threading one through at 106, Alomar grounding a single, Thome lining another — each hit arriving before the crowd could process the last. Fernandez batted twice in the inning — the first a double, the second a 112-MPH line drive single to left-center that scored two. It was 10-4, and the stadium had the stunned air of a building whose lights had all come on at once.
But Florida answered in kind — Floyd's three-run blast off Anderson in the sixth (402 feet, 110 MPH), Sheffield's RBI double in the seventh, Johnson singling home two more — and by the seventh's end they led 11-10, because this was the sort of game that refused to honor any lead. Cleveland tied it in the eighth on a bases-loaded walk to Ramirez, and Nen and Michael Jackson threw zeros at each other through the ninth and tenth like men having an argument neither would concede.
In the eleventh, with two out and Daulton walking, Johnson lined a double down the line at 108 miles per hour, and after an intentional walk loaded the bases, Counsell singled through the left side to plate two. Nen retired the side in order in the bottom half, and Florida won 13-11 in a five-hour game that seemed determined, through some stubborn logic of repetition, to exhaust every possible sequence before it would consent to end.
