For Phillies, World Series in sight-again

The Phillies rallied for a dramatic 5-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies in Game 4 of the National League Division Series tonight. The victory ensures Phillies’ return to the divisional championship and puts the team just four wins away from a return to the World Series.

Down to the final out of the game, Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth came through in the clutch. While facing the Rockies closer, Huston Street, Howard hit a deep double into right field driving in the two runs to tie the game. Werth then hit the go-ahead single to drive in the series winning run.

The Phillies will now head to the National League Championship Series where they will face a familiar foe, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The final stretch series open on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium.
