I would imagine that the choice for the last man on the 25 man roster was between Van De Keere and a pitcher (Zorich?). In the last at-bat of the game (bases loaded, no outs), you sure would like to not be out of position players. But oh how John Zorich came through. He fouled off two two-strike pitches to stay alive, did not back off of the plate, and when they decided to come inside with a 1-2 fastball, he took it for the team. Great job John!
