The 2nd game went extra innings and the closers, Trevor Hoffman and Mitch Williams, were brought in in the 10th. Even though Williams had already pitched 2 innings, the Phils let him bat for himself in the 10th (he was 2-for-16 in his career). With runners on 1st and 2nd and one out, Williams roped a single off of Hoffman which scored Pete Incaviglia from second and Harry Kalas, in a state of hysteria, referred to the game winning hero as "Mitchie-Poo". It was one of the most fun and most odd games I ever watched.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1385','Brian Joseph'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1385','Brian Joseph','On July 2, 1993, the Padres and Phillies played a doubleheader that, thanks to rain delays, lasted 12 hours and didn\'t end until 4:41 AM. \r\n\r\nThe 2nd game went extra innings and the closers, Trevor Hoffman and Mitch Williams, were brought in in the 10th.
