The Phillies' biggest stars stepped up big-time in Game 4, powering a wild comeback victory that gave them a 3-1 lead in the NLCS. Via BNightengale:
The top of the Phillies’ order put on an offensive performance for the ages Saturday night, and now has the team on the brink of the World Series after a zany 10-6 victory over the San Diego Padres.
“It was a blur,’’ Schwarber said, “with all of the emotion that was going through that game. It was a bunch of screaming, a bunch of yelling, a lot of cheering. Said Harper: “I don't think there was any panic or any opportunity to think about it. It was just like, 'Alright, we've got to get the job done.
Hey, it has a way of doing wonders for a fella’s image, too. Hoskins, who entered the game hitting .135 with 14 strikeouts in the postseason, was loudly booed when his name was introduced before the game. And when the Phillies are rolling, as the Padres discovered Saturday night, those same fans have a way of making life absolutely miserable for the visitors.
