Ron Gant makes it 3-2 with a sacrifice fly. Damon Berryhill walks to load the bases. Pinch-hitting for Rafael Belliard, Brian Hunter pops to Lind. Francisco Cabrera, pinch-hitting for Jeff Reardon, stands between Pittsburgh and the pennant. He works a 2-1 count before slapping a single to left.
Justice scores easily to tie the game.
With the pennant in tow, Bream lugs his creaky knees homeward. The throw arrives ahead of him, to the first-base side. Mike Lavalliere snares it and dives. Bream's toe nicks the plate first. Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium explodes into a frenzy.
