An early three-run deficit didn't faze the San Francisco Giants on Saturday, as the club's resilient lineup collected 11 runs on 16 hits against the vaunted pitching staff of the Kansas City Royals en route to an 11-4 victory in Game 4 of the World Series.

Here are 10 photos that sum up the occasion:

Mo'ne Davis, who won the nation's affection with her talent and poise at this year's Little League World Series, throws out the ceremonial first pitch Saturday evening.

Third-base coach Tim Flannery plants a kiss on the head of Bryan Stow, the Giants fan left partially paralyzed after being brutally beaten outside Dodger Stadium on Opening Day of the 2011 season.

Alex Gordon collides with second baseman Joe Panik while attempting to steal second base in the third inning. The 30-year-old eventually scored on an infield single from Eric Hosmer.

A forlorn Ryan Vogelsong heads for the dugout after being removed in the third inning with his team trailing 4-1. The 37-year-old right-hander allowed four earned runs over just 2 2/3 frames as he failed to pitch beyond the third inning for a second consecutive start.

Jason Vargas freezes in his tracks after prematurely heading to first base in the third inning while under the mistaken impression he had drawn a bases-loaded walk. The count was actually 3-2. He struck out looking on the next pitch.

Salvador Perez encourages left-hander Danny Duffy, who was summoned in the fourth inning to quash a Giants rally after disappointing performances from Jason Vargas and Jason Frasor.

Hunter Pence celebrates after scoring the game's tying run in the bottom of the fourth inning on a sacrifice fly from Juan Perez, who made just his second start of the postseason Saturday.

The typically reserved Buster Posey bellows at teammate Gregor Blanco after scoring on Pablo Sandoval's two-out single in the sixth that afforded the Giants a 6-4 lead.

Gregor Blanco slides home safely on Joe Panik's seventh-inning double to give the Giants a 10-4 advantage.

Hunter Pence makes a dazzling defensive play in the ninth inning on a sinking liner from Lorenzo Cain to bookend his team's series-evening victory at AT&T Park.
