GAME 2 - "Call Me Al" - Royals 12, Giants 2

GAME 2 (10/21)

Halicki vs Leonard

Royals 12, Giants 2

With the score 4-2 after 4 ½ innings of play the Royals bombarded the Jints with 3 spots in the 5^th and 6^th and a 2 spot in the 8^th to win walking away.  Dennis Leonard was stellar going the distance and giving up just 2 unearned runs in the top of the 2^nd.  KC’s 15 hit barrage led to 12 runs.  Both Kevin Seitzer (3-5) and Hal McRae (2-4) led with 4 RBI days.  Al Cowens was a perfect 5 for 5 at the plate.  Amazingly not one home run was hit all game.  Ed Halicki pretty much took one for the team going 7 2/3 and viging up all 12 runs (9 earned).  Billy Pierce pitched to one batter in the 8^th to save Halicki who had thrown 135 pitches in anger.

Royals lead series 2-0
