NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball fans, meet the first Mr. November — Derek Jeter. Four minutes after midnight, Jeter earned that distinction by hitting a home run with two outs in the bottom of lOth inning to lift the New York Yankees over the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3 and tie the World Series at two games each. Tino Martinez saved the Yankees on Wednesday night with a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth off Byung-Hyun Kim, who had relieved a gutsy Curt Schilling. Then Jeter, who usually shines in October, connected off Kim. The Yankees spilled out of the dugout to greet him at home plate, where he landed with a two-footed hop. Jeter said it was the first game-ending homer he could remember, and it came shortly after the Yankee Stadium score- board flashed: “Welcome to November Baseball.” “We always feel as though we have a chance to win a game,” Jeter said. “When you get to the postseason, you can throw everything out that you’ve done in the regular season.” Schilling, pitching on three days’ rest, did everything Arizona could have asked. But when Kim relieved, the game turned spooky for the Diamondbacks on Halloween night. “We had a lead, we had six outs left to go in the ball game," said Arizona manager Bob Brenly. “That’s the way we hoped it would work out. Unfortunately, it didn’t.” Now, the defending three time champion Yankees will send Mike Mussina against Miguel Batista in Game 5 Thursday night. Mariano Rivera broke three bats in a perfect l Oth inning for the win. A crowd that included Mr. October — Reggie Jackson — had been crazy all night then turned quiet in the ninth inning with the Yankees in trouble. Kim, who struck out the side in the eighth, gave up a one-out single to Paul O'Neill before striking out Bemie Williams. But Martinez, who had been hitless in nine Series at-bats, launched a drive over the center field fence to tie it. The sellout crowd of 55,863 roared, and sever al Yankees jumped over the railing in front of the dugout to celebrate. Kim set down the first two batters in the 10th.
