Nobody from the Minnesota twins stole a base or beat out a Bloop hit. No infielders with unfamiliar names hit Home runs. And Kent Hrbek did not make a tackle at least not while anyone was looking. Things were so quiet Brave Catcher Greg Olson slept until 2 15 . He then hurried to Atlanta Fulton county stadium to offer his teammates and others a Quick reminder. A two games to none Lead which is what the twins have has been overcome by Only 10 of the 41 teams in series history. But what is a 24 percent Success figure to a team that has overcome l 0-to-l Odds a i know not Many teams in history have been trailing two games to nothing in a world series and come Back and won a Olson said. A but until this year last place teams had never finished first right a in other words Olson and the braves Are to hoping for one More Miracle. But the twins would have you believe it is they who need the Miracle. A it done to get any easier Man a said Kirby Puckett who is witless in eight series at bats after batting .429 in the playoffs.

A you can to Call anybody who will help you and reports won t help you. You Are All  the twins have already counted one Batter out. A there is no Way our pitchers will go up there and get a hit a manager Tom Kelly said. Quot hopefully they will just not get  on the other hand Steve Avery and John Smoltz the game 3 and 4 starters each had a hit in the playoffs. Quot if our pitchers come up in a situation where they have to bunt maybe they can get the bunt Down a Kelly said. A they its hard enough for our regulars to hit or. Avery throwing 90  it will also be harder for the twins to work their offence on this grass Field although pitchers Scott Erickson and Jack Morris each hit homers during batting practice monday. Even Al Newman with one Home run in l,s6l at bats hit a Ball Over the Fence during the workout. Could this be Atlanta s Wake up Call that Pitcher Charlie Leibrandt is taking see Page 25 for a look at what the braves Are counting on to bring them Back from an 0-2 Hole.
