baseball action

st. louis won game 1 of the n.l.c.s tonite 5-3. chris carpenter, i believe, got the win. game 2 tomorrow on fox. after anaheim won game one of the a.l.c.s 3-1 last night, chicago tied the series at one with a 2-1 win. the win followed some controversy when josh paul clearly caught kelvim escobar's pitch before the ball hit the dirt (check the replay). the umpire called strike thre after a.j. piersynski swung and missed, which would have ended the 9th inning and continued into the 10th tied at one. piersynski, thinking maybe the ball hit the dirt, took a chance and ran for first ans josh paul flipped the ball to the mound thinking the inning was over. anyways the umpires let piersynski stay at first, who got replaced by a pinch runner. he stole second. joe crede ended up winning it with a double off the left field wall and chicago wins 2-1.

Thanks! You're a pal!
