The 2007 Florida Marlins didn’t have a single winning month, but most months started with a bang. In their first game of the month that year, Florida was 5-1.
On this day 15 years ago, the Marlins rallied to start July on the right foot. Miguel Olivo’s solo home run in the ninth tied the game before Josh Willingham delivered the walk-off single in the 10th in a 6-5 win over the Atlanta Braves.
The Marlins appeared on the verge of collapse as they came to bat in the bottom of the ninth at Pro Player Stadium on July 1, 2007.
