Concept of walk-off hit in the 8th inning

  • Speaking of Melky Cabrera's late inning heroics:
(Newsday, Boland): "Cabrera, with three walk-off hits already to his credit this season, ripped a two-run home run
  • to provide the final margin in Thursday's 8-6 victory over the Rangers.
The same concept was noted on Yankee radio. After the game, John Sterling speaking:
  • "As Suzyn (Waldman) said" during the game, with Melky getting the lead run in the 8th inning and Mariano coming in in the 9th,
  • "it's almost a walk-off hit."
Reference, Newsday article, "Got Melky? Yankees do, and they feel fortunate," by Eric Boland, 6/5/09
