LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jimmy Rollins got the Phillies off to a fast
start on their way to the World Series.
Rollins led off the game with a home run and Philadelphia went
on to a 5-1 win over the Dodgers to clinch the National League
Championship Series 4-1. Rollins connected off of Dodgers starter
Chad Billingsley who also gave up rbi singles to Ryan Howard and
Pat Burrell (BUR'-ehl) before he left in the third inning.
Philadelphia added two runs in the fifth thanks to three errors
by Los Angeles shortstop Rafael Furcal (fur-KAHL').
Meanwhile, Phillies starter Cole Hamels was holding the Dodgers
in check. The left-hander gave up a home run to Manny Ramirez as
one of only five hit he allowed in seven innings. Hamels struck out
five and walked three.
Philadelphia earns its first trip to the World Series since
1993.
