Hellmann The Hero As Kiev Walks Off A Winner

The Kiev Comets had a 4-1 lead. Then it was 4-2... 4-3... then a 2-run home run by Caracas suddenly propelled them ahead late. The Rangers turned to Vicente Bello, who had shut the door with authority in Game 1. This time the Comets were able to scratch out two singles and brought Freyr Hellmann to the plate with two out in the 8th. On a 3-2 pitch, the team's leader in batting average came through, knocking a grounder through the right side to tie it up. Two innings later he came up again with two men on, and didn't even need to get a hit to be the hero: A deep flyball was enough to score Gusmano Galatti and give the Comets a 2-1 series lead.
