The critical instant: Carlton Fisk slams his game-winning homer in the 12th. The drama begins with Fred Lynn's three-run drive in the first. Ken Griffey retaliates in the fifth with his two-run triple. Lynn's gallant leap for the ball fails; he crashes and collapses. Cesar Geronimo rounds third after his eight-inning homer makes it 6-3 Denny Doyle's rash dash home in the ninth; he's out. It is Cesar who buries Luis Tiant; he is taken out. Bernie Carbo rips the improbable eighth-inning pinch home run, his second of the Series, that ties the game 6-6. All of which leads to the mob scene for Fisk.
