World Series Game 4: New York 13, Dodgers 5

GAME 4 (Yankee Stadium) Yankees 13, Dodgers 5:
Every Yankee starter had at least 1 hit as the Bombers pounded out 13 runs on 22 hits. Dodger starter Carl Erskine was the epitome of a bum as he surrendered 6 runs in a little over 4 innings of work. Relievers Palica and Haugstad were nothing more than kerosene on the fire that the Yankee bats were providing. Darryl Strawberry went 4 for 4 with 4 Ribbies and a mammoth homer that seemed to salt the clouds. Yankee starter Andy Pettitte was cruising and only yielded 2 runs until he was forced out in the 8th, where the Dodgers got 3 inconsequential runs on a Duke Snider blast. Holmes came on to finish it out and the series was now knotted at 2 apiece.
