Bunting in that situation is elementary.  2 on and no out.  After a successful bunt, then you only need a flyball or ground ball to score a run.  Without bunting, you have to get a base hit.  Whatever, It was a very nice comeback but when you have 2 on and no out and fail to plate a run down by 1 in the 9th it just sucks. 

You are correct on the fundamentals.  Ensure a tie to prevent the loss. But Dmitri Young was facing his former team, who had kicked him to the curb and eliminated his World Series opportunity.  I was sitting there waiting for a walk-off home run.  I had the "BANG! ZOOM!" ready to go.  It would have been a sure-fire ESPN highlight.
