SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Juan Uribe hit a game-ending sacrifice fly
off reliever Roy Oswalt with one out in the ninth inning and the
San Francisco Giants moved within one win of the World Series,
beating the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 Wednesday night for a 3-1
lead in the NL championship series.
Aubrey Huff singled with one out in the ninth and took third
when Buster Posey singled for his fourth hit of the game. Uribe hit
a medium-deep fly, leaving left fielder Ben Francisco with no
chance to get the sliding Huff.
The Phillies, the two-time defending NL champions with the best
record in the majors this year, are suddenly on the brink of
elimination. They'll send Roy Halladay against Tim Lincecum in Game
5 Thursday night - it's a rematch of aces that Lincecum won in the
opener.
