Notes: The Royals won their first-ever World Series game by outlasting Philadelphia, 4-3, in 10 innings. Brett put KC on the scoreboard first with a first-inning solo home run off Dick Ruthven. Aikens continued his hot hitting with a triple and game-winning single in the 10th. Mike Schmidt homered for the Phillies and Pete Rose stroked a game-tying single in the eighth. Each club's bullpen ace squared off with Quisenberry earning the victory and McGraw taking the loss. The winning run scored after a walk to Willie Wilson who stole second base and scored with two out on Aikens' opposite-field single (McGraw walked Brett intentionally to get to Aikens).

Thanks Richard!
