Bob Lutz: Royals overcome miscues to somehow win opener

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On a night when Fox lost its power, leaving panicked television viewers with a blank screen for a few minutes during Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night, there was a bonus.

Extra innings.

And the never-say-die Kansas City Royals took advantage of an error by New York Mets third baseman David Wright in the 14th inning to score the winning run on Eric Hosmer’s bases-loaded sacrifice fly.

A game that had something of everything ended with a sac fly that ended a fight that went into the night, but only because the Royals were able to overcome some late-game miscues in a way only the Royals seem to be able to overcome.
