Brad Lidge comes in to face Longoria, Navarro and Baldelli with the score 4-3 in favor of Philadelphia. Lidge needs to get three outs before the Rays score a run.

Update: Lidge gets ahead of Longoria 0-2. He works the count even but pops out on the infield for the first out.

Update: Navarro falls behind 0-2, also. On the next pitch, Navarro breaks his bat and dumps a single into shallow right. The Rays have the tying run on. Perez runs for Navarro, and Ben Zobrist bats for Baldelli.

Update: Zobrist hits a hard line drive, but there's no top spin. The ball stays up for Werth, and there are two out. It's up to pinch hitter Eric Hinske.

Update: Perez steals second and Zobrist is ahead in the count 2-1.

Update: Hinske falls behind 0-2, then strikes out swinging. The Phillies are 2008 World Champions!

Hinsk went down on 3 pitches - he is not the next Dick Schofield
