This brings us to the deciding game.  In the bottom of the 1st, Ocala loaded
the bases with their first 3 hitters, then Todd Helton connected for this
3rd HR of the series.  This held up until the 4th when Fernando Tatis hit
his own grand slam to knot the game at 4.    Fordyce connected for a 2-run
shot in the top of the 6th to give the Mets a 6-4 lead.  Helton and Sosa
connected for back-to-back doubles in the bottom of the inning to cut the
lead in half.  Sosa, who had been in major funk, entering this game, smacked
the tieing homerun in the bottom of the 8th.  Glen Allen's first two hitters
reached base in the top of the 9th off Percival.  Troy was able to get a
double play and flyout to end the inning however.  With 2 outs in the bottom
of 9th Jeter singled and stole second, but Alfonzo couldn't drive him home.
Matt Lawton led off the Mets 10th with a walk.  After a hit and run
groundout, Percival struck out Colbrunn and Klesko to end the 10th.  The
game ended in the 10th like the 1991 World Series, but not on a sacrifice
fly.  Helton who had opened the scoring with a grand slam, hit his 4th
homerun of the series to give the win and series to Ocala.

First baseman Todd Helton slammed 2 homeruns at Double O Dome where the Ocala
Ocelots beat the Glen Allen Mets in 10 innings 7 to 6.

The score was knotted at 6 after nine innings.  Ocala won it in the 10th
inning.  Helton smashed a solo-shot out of the park (his 4th of the season)
making Ocala the winners and sending the 45,743 fans home happy.  Ocala ended
up with 11 hits for the game while Glen Allen had 8.  

Troy Percival(1-0) went 1 and 1/3 innings allowing no runs for the win. Wayne

together, and this was one of them' Helton said.  'I've been seeing the ball
pretty well lately.'
