ROYALS SCORE TWICE IN NINTH TO FORCE EXTRA INNINGS, ERUPT FOR FIVE MORE IN 12TH AS KANSAS CITY WINS FIRST WORLD SERIES TITLE IN 30 YEARS

At New York:
USP MLB: WORLD SERIES-KANSAS CITY ROYALS AT NEW YO S BBO USA NY
Trailing 2-0 in the ninth inning on Sunday, the Kansas City Royals scored twice in that inning (with Eric Hosner scoring the equalizer), then, with Christian Colon delivering a tie-breaking single in his first post-season at bat and Lorenzo Cain delivering a three-run double, erupted for five more runs in the 12th inning as they defeated the New York Mets 7-2 in game five to win their first World Series championship since 1985, taking the series in five games.  That's Eric, here, celebrating with third baseman Mike Moustakas after the game.
