15-year Marliniversary: Willingham’s walk-off blast breaks scoreless tie, lifts Fish past Dodgers

One of baseball’s youngest teams, the Florida Marlins were learning how to win in the mid-2000s. The Marlins possessed a promising young core and rarely went down without a fight.

In the rubber game of a three-game set that took place on this day 15 years ago, the Marlins got their second walk-off win of the series. They did so with their first walk-off home run of the season—a three-run blast from Josh Willingham—to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-0.

For eight and a half innings at Dolphin Stadium on May 10, 2007, neither team was able to crack the scoreboard.
