New York's fans grew loud and exuberant, even within Angel Stadium. New York appeared to be headed to the World Series to face the Philadlephia Phillies. But then, there was the bottom of the inning. "You don't want the season to end, that's for sure," catcher and surprise hitting sensation Jeff Mathis said. "There was some talk about not wanting to have the Yankees celebrate on our field, I can tell you that," added Torii Hunter, the heart and voice of his team.Just when all looked lost, the Los Angeles Angels took a cue from an old friend. With their Rally Monkey doing his best work in years, the Angels sent the AL championship series back to New York. Kendry Morales drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out single in , and the Angels responded to the Yankees'r for a 7-6 win Thursday night that trimmed New York's lead in the ALCS to 3-2.
