(Getty Images/Ron Vesely)After being dealt a knockout blow the night before, New York overcame adversity and stuck it back to Philadelphia in their 3-1 victory over the Phillies in Game 2 of the World Series last night.
A. J. Burnett had a minor hiccup in the 2nd inning as he allowed an RBI single to Matt Stairs to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead. Unfortunately that was all she wrote for Philadelphia as Burnett was lights out for the rest of the game as he went 7 innings, allowing 4 hits, and 9 strikeouts.
Yankees were able to capitalize on two long bombs by Mark Teixeira and Hideki Matsui in the 4th and 6th innings. Jorge Posada had an RBI single in the 7th that sealed the deal for New York as they knotted up the fall classic to a game a piece.
Game 3 of the World Series is set for tomorrow night. Andy Pettitte will start for New York while Cole Hamels will get the start for Philadelphia.
