Monday 12 October, 2009 at 10:59 pm T Lamont 0

With two out in the top of the ninth inning, slugger Ryan Howard came up big for Philly.


The Philadelphia Phillies scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth and moved on to the National League Championship Series, ousting the Colorado Rockies, 5-4.

Colorado entered the top of the ninth with a 4-2 lead in Game 4 of the NLDS at Coors Field.  2005 American League Rookie of the Year Huston Street gave up a two-run double to Ryan Howard, and an ensuing RBI single to Jayson Werth which put Philadelphia ahead.

Scott Eyre and Brad Lidge combined to record the final three outs for the Phils.  They will battle the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS.
