Yankees World Series 1950 Series Mundiales

Serie Mundial 1950 Yankees Phillies - 20-game winner Robin Roberts and Allie Reynolds both pitched outstanding baseball for nine innings, as strong pitching and stout defense again prevailed in the series. Gene Woodling drove in Jerry Coleman for a Yankee run in the second, and Richie Ashburn tallied Mike Goliat in the fifth, forcing a 1–1 tie which held up through nine full innings. This set the stage for Joe DiMaggio, leading off the tenth inning for the Yankees. With one swing, DiMaggio smashed a home run to left field to provide the difference in a 2–1 extra-inning win for the Yankees as the series shifted to New York.

DiMaggio had a hand in holding the Phillies at bay long enough to get his key at-bat. In the sixth inning, Ennis hit a deep fly to center, but DiMaggio made a spectacular over-the-shoulder running catch, near the 400 foot marker at the base of the scoreboard in right-center. This play is far less well-known but was similar-looking to the famous Willie Mays catch in the 1954 World Series.
