1. Denkinger's call.
2. Next at-bat, Clark misplayed a foul pop-up by batter Steve Balboni. Instead of popping out, Balboni singled on the next pitch, and Onix Concepcion came in to pinch-run.
3. With runners on first and second, Jim Sundberg then bunted into a force play at third.
4. Catcher Darrell Porter then allowed a passed ball, allowing the runners to advance to second and third. Pinch-hitter Hal McRae was intentionally walked to load the bases.
5. Dane Iorg knocked a bloop single to right that scored Concepcion and Sundberg, who avoided Porter's tag at the plate to score the winning run.
Basically, the Cardinals self-destructed, not only becuase of the wrong-call, but their inability to ignore that incident and focus the game.
And since the Royals won game six, there WAS a game seven, that I guess the Cardinals forgot to show up.

Its so funny trying to argue with a Cardinals fan about that game, becaue they are so biased about it... They feel they got robbed, but they had every chance to get the outs. They're the ones that screwed themselves, because they were all whiney about it and seemed to not care about it anymore. so they whined about it after the game and still do, just to try to make themselves feel better.
