Pablo Sandoval leads off against Michael Wacha with the Cardinals and Giants tied at three in the bottom of the ninth of game five.

Update: Sandoval falls behind 1-2, but then smacks a line drive into rightfield for a single. The Giants have the lead-off batter on. Joaquin Arias pinch runs.

Update: Hunter Pence flies out to right on the first pitch. Pence hit it into the gap in right-center, but it stayed up too long. One down.

Update: Brandon Belt gets ahead 3-0, and draws a walk on four pitches. That moves Arias into scoring position with one out.

Update: Travis Ishikawa goes deep, and THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!
