<P>Despite pickup hitting from the Yankee bench the Atlanta Braves took Game 1 with a 3-2 win in the 43rd World Series kicking off in New York city.
<P>
<P>Pete Williams came into this game 0-for-15 and hitless in 22 World Series at-bats going back to last season. However, in the second inning, he fouled off two pitches on a 3-2 count and then homered down the left field line to put the Yankees on top 1-0. 
<P>
<P>Derek Walters extended his World Series hitting streak to 14 games with a solo homer in the sixth to tie the score 2-2. 
<P>
<P>The Yankees didn't really have many scoring opportunities. Pedro Vlanz retired 16 of the first 19 Yankees he faced. Before the ninth inning, no other Yankee reached third base except Williams and Walters on the solo home runs.
