In 1954 Giants, Manager Leo Durocher had a great weapon off the bench, he was Dusty Rhodes.

In the 2nd game, Giants pitching ace Johnny Antonelli pitched seven innings allowing only one run. Hoyt Wilhelm closed out the last two innings as the Giants won 5-2. Whitey Lockman drove in three runs on the day, and Alvin Dark had an RBI single as well.
In the 3rd game of the Series, the Giants jumped out to an early 2-0 lead. In the Dodger 7th, Roy Campanella & Carl Furillo tied it with back to back home runs.
In the 8th, Dodger pitcher Erv Palica gave up a single to Whitey Lockman, a walk to Hank Thompson & an intentional walk to Don Mueller.
After getting a force out at home, up stepped Dusty Rhodes as a pinch hitter once again. Rhodes came through again with a two run single to right center field. The Giants went on to win it 5-2 to complete the sweep.
