Chris Carpenter held the &#8220;can&#8217;t miss&#8221; Ashburns to just three hits, and the upstart Cardinals went on to take the NLDS three games to two in a sparkling 1-0 win in Philadelphia, ending the Phillies post-season dream of another October World Series appearance.

In the history of the game, he said, what viewers just saw was history &#8212; the best night of baseball ever of any regular season. The best, as he repeated, in 200,000 games.

The pumped-up Fox Television special of a &#8220;classic match-up&#8221; between two great pitchers (including one whose post-season numbers were right up there with Sandy Koufax and Christy Mathewson), turned into a sloppy slugfest (six errors, 18 runs and 25 hits) that ranks [...]]]></description>

The San Francisco Giants are the champions of the National League, edging the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 in the sixth game of the NLCS.
