Minneapolis - St. Paul – Key Play of Final Series Game – This is how Dodger third baseman Jim Gilliam stabbed Zoilo Versalles’ hot smash in the fifth inning of the final World Series game to snuff out a potential Minnesota Twins’ rally. Gilliam went to his knees, then recovered and beat Frank Quilici to the bag for a force and the second out of the inning. If the ball had gone through, at least one and possibly two Minnesota runs would have scored. The Dodgers won, 2-0.
