World Series 2014: Twitter Reacts to Royals' Game 6 Victory

The Kansas City Royals continued to shock the baseball world Tuesday night with their 10-0 drubbing of the visiting San Francisco Giants in Game 6 of the 2014 World Series from Kauffman Stadium.

Social media was ablaze when it was clear the miracle Royals were forcing a seventh and deciding game of the Fall Classic, set for Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET. 

It's a wonder Twitter didn't shut down in the second inning of the Game 6 bout. The entirety of Kansas City was in a state of elation, as their riveting Royals captivated with a seven-run outburst.

In typical Kansas City fashion, it wasn't so much a 3-run homer or back-to-back jacks that got it to the seven-run benchmark. Instead, it was something that so embodies the Royals this season—a little bit of small ball.  

Probably the most significant hit of the frame was the one that drove in the first runner of the game, an RBI double by Mike Moustakas.

Kansas City fans responded in part. They love "The Moose" in K.C.

After an odd sequence of events eventually loaded the bases, up came Norichika Aoki with one out. Those sweating in the Bay Area had plenty to perspire over, as Giants starter Jake Peavy surrendered a run-scoring single to Aoki, upping the Royals' lead to 2-0. Peavy's night was done after that.

After a two-run single by Lorenzo Cain, Eric Hosmer delivered the last big hit of the inning, a two-run double that gave the Royals a 6-0 cushion.

What's odd about the hit was it was actually Hosmer's second of the at-bat. He knocked a single that was called back after an official called a timeout in play.

The hit brought with it a bit of history for the Gold Glover.

If there's one thing you can say about Kansas City fans, they love it when Hosmer succeeds. And by Kansas City fans, I mean female Kansas City fans.

Not lost in the 10-0 annihilation was the pitching performance of Royals starter Yordano Venutra, who scattered three hits in seven shutout innings for the win.

In a touching show of respect, Ventura donned a cap with "R.I.P. O.T. #18" written on it, a dedication to St. Louis Cardinals player Oscar Tavares, who died in a car accident Monday as reported by Paul White and Jorge L. Ortiz of USA Today.

Awesome seeing the gesture Ventura made towards Oscar Tavares. Baseball really isn't "just a game."

Kansas City piled on three more runs in the latter innings, turning any anxiety from Kansas City fans back on San Francisco supporters for a pivotal, deciding Game 7.

Every Royals fan right now:

Every Giants fan right now:

What an exciting ride this postseason has been, especially for the people of Kansas City. Whatever benchmarks or history that statisticians can hang their hats on might as well be thrown out the proverbial window. Anything can happen in a Game 7. With all the momentum on their side, the white and blue, led by their speed and small-ball mentality, have what it takes to earn the crown.

You can take this one, Giants' fans. You've gotten two within the last half decade.

There's no stopping this Cinderella story from having a happy ending.
