At New York:
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.

In Saturday's fourth game of the World Series, the Kansas City Royals, aided by second baseman Daniel Murphy's error, rallied for three runs in the eighth inning and upended the New York Mets 5-3 on the road for a three-games-to-one series lead.
The Royals can finish off the Mets and win their first World Series title since 1985 with a game-five road win on Sunday night.
Here, we see Royals first basement Eric Hosner celebrating with teammate Alex Gordon after scoring in that big eighth inning.

At Kansas City:
Eric Hosmer (that's him here) delivered a sacrifice fly in the 14th inning as Alcides Escobar (who delivered a first-inning inside-the-park homer) scored the game-winning run on Tuesday night (Wednesday morning in Kansas City) as the Kansas City Royals took the opening game of the World Series, 5-4 over the visiting New York Mets.
Alex Gordon's solo home run in the ninth inning for the Royals forced extra innings.
It was the longest Game One in World Series history.
The Mets' Daniel Murphy's Major League Baseball record string of six consecutive post-season games with a home run came to an end.
