MLB: Philadelphia 4, Tampa Bay 3

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29 (UPI) -- Pedro Feliz drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh Wednesday, lifting Philadelphia to a 4-3 win over Tampa Bay and the World Series championship.

For the second time in their 125-year history, the Phillies claimed the Major League Baseball title and did so by finishing off a bizarre game that had begun two days earlier.

Game 5 of the World Series resumed Wednesday with the temperature in the 30s and a blustery wind making it feel colder than that. While tied at 2-2, the contest had been halted by torrential rain after 5 1/2 innings Monday night.

Philadelphia immediately took the lead on a double by Geoff Jenkins, a sacrifice by Jimmy Rollins and a bloop single to center by Jayson Werth.

Tampa Bay quickly tied it at 3-3 in the seventh on a homer to left by Rocco Baldelli, but the Phillies pushed across a run in the bottom half of the inning that turned out to be the game-winner.

Pat Burrell opened the Philadelphia seventh with a double and gave way to pinch-runner Eric Bruntlett. He moved to third on a groundout by Shane Victorino and Feliz singled up the middle to bring Bruntlett home.

Brad Lidge, who saved 41 games during the regular season, came on in the ninth to record the biggest save of his life.

Lidge allowed the would-be tying run to reach second with one out, but he got Ben Zobrist on a liner to right and struck out Eric Hinske to end the baseball season.

The loss brought a disappointing end to a unexpectedly successful season for Tampa Bay, which until this year had never won more than 70 games in a single campaign.
