During the 1997 World Series, the Florida Marlins actually fared better in Cleveland than they did in South Florida. The Marlins won the series in seven games and took two of three at Jacobs Field.
As was the case in Game 3, the Marlins used a late-inning rally to take Game 5. They did so on this day 25 years ago for an 8-7 victory over the Cleveland Indians and a 3-2 series lead.
The series was even 2-2 as the teams arrived in Cleveland on Oct. 23, 1997. The Marlins drew first blood in the second inning but were on the short end of a 4-2 score as the contest shifted to the sixth inning.
