Good guess - Actually two.
A bases loaded single with two outs in game four of 1953 series.
Billy Martin was tossed out at the plate trying to score.
A game ending home run in game three of the 1964 series.

Yes, but the game ended and that was the question...a bit of a trick question I suppose...

Yes, but the hit came first, then the out at home.
