Gonzalez hits game-winning single off Rivera

PHOENIX - No comeback could be more unlikely, perhaps no World Series more dramatic.

The Arizona Diamondbacks, headed for another excruciating one-run loss that would give New York its fourth consecutive championship, staged a shocking ninth-inning rally of their own last night.

This 3-2 victory in Game 7 topped anything the Yankees managed last week in New York because no one expected it, not against the seemingly unbeatable Mariano Rivera. And it dethroned the three-time defending champions.
