GAME 4 - "Littell did they know..." - Royals 4, Giants 1



GAME 4 (10/24)
Gubicza vs Knepper
Royals 4, Giants 1


Willie Wilson led off the game with a single through the 5.5 hole, stole second, then moved to third on Patek’s infield single, then scored on a SF by Seitzer.  John Wathan walked and both he and Patek scored on Al Cowens’ double off the wall in left center.  Cowens moved to 3rd on an errant throw to the plate that had no chance of getting Wathan, then scored on McRae’s ground out.  When the diamond dust settled the Royals were up 4-0 and the Candlestick faithful were both cold and bewildered.  Those 4 early runs were more than enough for Royals starter Mark Gubicza, who gave up just one run in 6 2/3.  Mark Littell threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings to grab the save and put his team one game away from the championship.
Royals lead series 3-1
