GAME 3 - KCR 12, TEX 1
Brown vs Gubicza
A 4 run bottom of the first gave Mark Gubicza a 4-1 lead that only got bigger and better as the game went on. After a solo run in the 2nd the Royals posted 3 in the 4th and 4 in the 5th to blow the doors off of the Rangers team bus. KC banged out 17 hits with 4 players getting 3 apiece. Bo Jackson went 3 for 4 with 5 RBI including the games lone homer.
GAME 4 - TEX 5, KCR 4 (14 inn)
Jeffcoat vs Aquino
The Rangers outlasted the Royals in this classic 14 inning affair to salvage a series tie. Texas had a tenuous 1 run lead that closer Jeff Russell blew in the bottom of the 9th to force extras. KC's Tom "Flash" Gordon gave up a 1 out double to Ruben Sierra. Raffy Palmeiro was given an intentional pass to setup a DP possibility. Steve Buechele bounced a seeing eye hit through the whole between 3rd and short to score Sierra for the go ahead run. KC wasn't hoisting any white flags just yet as Danny Tartabull doubled off the wall in right center with 1 out. Catcher Bob Boone singled to the opposite field, but a hard charging Sierra came up throwing, so Tartabull stayed on third. Future HOF'er George Brett hit a one hop bullet to second for a routine game ending DP.
