Seattle jumped to an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first thanks to a two-run homer from red-hot rookie Alvin Davis. They added another two runs in the second thanks to consecutive RBI hits from the Henderson boys (Dave and Steve). Frank White managed to score after a triple in the top of the third, but another Seattle run in the fourth had them at a 5-1 lead.
Kansas City came roaring back in the fourth. A Larry Milbourne error allowed Don Slaught to score and then, with two runners on, Darryl Motley crushed a homer to tie the game!
White hit a solo shot in the sixth to give the Royals their first lead but reliever Joe Beckwith surrendered that lead in the seventh. It was still tied until the eighth when Steve "Bye-Bye" Balboni blasted a solo homer to give the Royals the lead yet again.
In the bottom of the ninth Beckwith walked the first to batters and then George Brett booted an easy grounder to load the bases with nobody out. Al Cowens walked to tie the game but KC got two outs while keeping the bases loaded to bring up Bob Kearney for the Mariners. All he did was HIT A WALK-OFF GRAND SLAM FOR THE WIN!!!!
