Too bad game four didn't include the Yankees managing to score two of their six men ultimately left on base, for a final score of Yankees 13 Dodgers 4, in which case the Yankees would have scored more runs in the series than the Dodgers.
Final score of the series was Dodgers 25 - Yankees 24.
It all just proves that the only stat that REALLY matters is games won.
