Has anyone every hit a 9th inning game tying HR and game winning HR in the same game???

…and the Reds still lost to the Pirates. Amazing.
In this game in 1962 vs the Mets, Willie Mays hit a game tying HR in the 8th, and a game winning HR in the 10th. Not quite the same…

In this game in 1970, Jim Hickman hit a game tying two run HR in the 7th with the Cubs down by 2, and a game-winning two run HR in the 9th with the Cubs down by 1:

And in this game in 1991, Robbie Alomar hit a game tying solo HR in the botttom of the 9th, and another in the bottom of the 11th.
But the Jays lost in the 12th:

Did last night actually happen?
Raul Ibanez. Dude may have saved the Yankee season. Singlehandedly. Amazing.
From a historical perspective, it may rank right up there as one of the greatest single game postseason performances in Yankee history – up there with Babe, Reggie, & Don Larsen.
