Gordon opened the top of the ninth by walking the handsome yet evil Yankee shortstop, Derek Jeter, and Trisha remembered something her father had once told her: when a team gets a lead-off walk, their chances of scoring rise by seventy percent. If we win, if Tom gets the save, I’ll be saved.

Gordon walks the named Yankee shortstop in the broadcast.
