<P> Mark Grace led off the inning with a single to center on a 1 -- 0 pitch . Rivera 's errant throw to second base on a bunt attempt by Damian Miller on an 0 -- 1 pitch put runners on first and second . Jeter tried to reach for the ball , but got tangled in the legs of pinch - runner David Dellucci , who was sliding in an attempt to break up the double play . During the next at bat , Rivera appeared to regain control when he fielded Jay Bell 's bunt and threw out Dellucci at third base , but third baseman Brosius decided to hold onto the baseball instead of throwing to first to complete the double play . Midre Cummings was sent in to pinch - run for Damian Miller . With Cummings at second and Bell at first , the next batter , Womack , hit a double down the right - field line on a 2 -- 2 pitch that tied the game and earned Rivera a blown save . Bell advanced to third and the Yankees pulled the infield and outfield in as the potential winning run stood at third with fewer than two outs . After Rivera hit Craig Counsell with an 0 -- 1 pitch , the bases were loaded . On an 0 -- 1 pitch , Gonzalez lofted a soft single over the drawn - in Jeter that barely reached the outfield grass , plating Jay Bell with the winning run . This ended New York 's bid for a fourth consecutive title and brought Arizona its first championship in its fourth year of existence , making the Diamondbacks the fastest expansion team to win a World Series . It was also the first major professional sports championship for the state of Arizona . </P>
