'85-KC takes 3 of 4 from '64 Bombers

Game 1. Steve Balboni's 3-run homer puts KC in front 5-0 and CharlieLiebrandt pitches 8 strong innings. KC 5 NY 4.

Game 2: Saberhagen takes a no-hitter into the 6th and end up with 8 inningsof 4-hit -run ball. KC 2 NY 1.

Game 3: Jim Bouton pitches a remarkable game for NY, throwing a 3-hitshutout on only 79 pitches. NY 3 KC 0.

Game 4: KC amazingly scores 5 runs on 3 singles and a double and no walks. This was due in large part to the feats of Yankee catcher, Johnny Blanchard. He committed 4 errors in the 5th inning that led to 3 KC runs. KC laid down 3 bunts and he threw the ball away at first on all 3. On the last bunt he made his 4th error by then dropping a throw at play at the plate. KC 5 NY3.
