Canadian soldiers assist in Indians' win over Yankees

The mayfly, or the more commonly known Canadian soldier, assisted the Indians in the eighth inning of game 2 between the Indians and Yankees. Where the Indians couldn't get to the Andy Pettitte through 7 innings, the Canadian soldiers got under the skin of the Yankees relief pitching in the 8th inning, causing 2 wild pitches which allowed the Tribe to score the tying run. Casey Blake of the Indians stated in a New York Times article that because the bugs were bothering the Yankees so much, he wanted to act as if they weren't bothering him at all. The 1-1 tie was taken to the bottom of the 11th inning when Travis Hafner singled with the bases loaded to put the Indians up two games to none. Thanks to ESPN, the game was broadcast live in Israel. I can hear Dudley Do-Right now, "Don't worry, I'll save you!"
