GAME 3 - Busch Stadium
Halladay vs Carpenter
Cardinals 2, Phillies 1
In a battle of aces Chris Carpenter out-slung Doc Halladay. The Redbirds needed this win
to avoid going down 3-0 in the series and Carpenter and the pen came through big time. Tony Womack led off the bottom of the first to give Carpenter a 1-0 lead with a homer. Larry Walker's RBI double in the 3rd made it 2-0. Philly would get on the board with a run on a error in the 5th and again threatened in the 9th by getting runners on 1st and 2nd with two out. With Izzy on the mound looking for the save Cardinal fans had their hearts in their mouths as pinch hitter John Mayberry Jr. launched a bomb that John Mabry made a running stab on against the wall to save the day.
Phillies lead series 2-1
