The first major league game ever started in the month of November is a memorable one as the New York Yankees, for the second consecutive night, make a dramatic comeback in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game and go on to victory in extra innings in Game 5 of the World Series. In an amazing case of history repeating itself, Arizona Diamondbacks closer Byung-Hyun Kim is again victimized, this time by Scott Brosius, who hits a game-tying two-out two-run home run to knot the game at 2 – 2 in the 9th inning, as Alfonso Soriano hits a RBI single with Chuck Knoblauch scoring the winning run in the 12th to give the Yankees a 3 – 2 victory and a 3-2 lead over Arizona. Steve Finley and Rod Barajas homer in the 5th for Arizona’s runs.
