In the top of the ninth inning, Ed Sprague, pinch-hitting for the first time this season, takes Braves' closer Jeff Reardon deep for a two-run homer, giving the Blue Jays an eventual 5-4 comeback victory in Game 2 of the World Series. The corner infielder's second round-tripper of the year knots the Fall Classic at one game apiece, with the series shifting to Toronto.

The Canadian flag is inadvertently flown upside-down by a United States Marine Corps color guard at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium during the pregame ceremonies before Game 2 of the World Series between the Blue Jays and Braves. Although the international incident annoys the U.S.'s northern neighbors, most Toronto fans resist the call to fly the American Stars and Stripes similarly during Game 3 at the SkyDome but opt instead to wave Canada's L'Unifoli with the message "This end up" affixed to the top.
