Are all world series games played at night

On Oct. Nowadays, the idea of a World Series day game is as outdated and antiquated as, well, as either the Pirates or Orioles winning the pennant. But it took until for it to happen. After all, night games during regular-season play started in the s. Aside from the Cubs, all stadiums had lights by the s. The legacy of day-only World Series games was just tradition surviving by inertia. As for the game itself, it got off to a rollicking start.

In the top of the first in Pittsburgh, the Orioles rattled three consecutive singles to begin the game and load the bases. A passed ball and consecutive sacrifice flies then scored all three runs and drove Pirate starting pitcher Luke Walker from the game. Bruce Kison deserves most of that credit. He lasted from the first all the way to the seventh, keeping Baltimore off the bases.

Actually, though he allowed merely one double and no walks while recording 19 outs, he did make one bit of unwanted baseball history. He hit three batters in his time on the mound, setting a new record since tied for most HBP by one pitcher in a postseason game.

With the bullpen performing brilliant shutdown baseball, the Pirate hitters had a chance to crawl back into the game, and crawl back they did.

Down in the bottom of the first, a walk and a pair of Pirate doubles made the score before the second inning began. In the third, a trio of singles tied the score. After that, Baltimore just held on for dear life, trying desperately to snuff out a series of Pirate rallies.

Pittsburgh catcher Manny Sanguillen led off the fourth with a single and then quickly stole second base but could advance no further. In the fifth, the Pirates loaded the bases with one out on two singles and an intentional walk, only to see a pop up and groundout end the threat. In the sixth, the Pirates loaded the bases yet again behind two more singles, a stolen base, and a walk. Finally, in the seventh, the Pirates broke through for that long-sought go-ahead run.

With one out, they laced three singles and benefited from an error to go ahead, Here they are, with the better ones in bold if you just want to skim. Every game in the Series will be a shutout. The Phillies led after seven innings, but Boston scored a pair in the top of the eighth to tie it, and Harry Hooper homers in the ninth to win it all.
