Giants Go To The Wells for Victory

Dateline: Seattle

The suddenly reeling SF Giants went to an old friend to bail them out of their 2-0 games jam vs. the upstart Seattle Mariners. David Wells (2-1, playoffs) scattered five hits over 7 innings and left the rest to pen to handle as the Giants won game 3 of the MBL series 3-2. SF now trails 2 games to 1.

Bernie Williams and Paul Konerko traded 2nd inning HR's then Jim Thome's HR made it 2-1 in the 4th. Miguel Tejada's RBI single in the 5th proved to be important becasue JD Drew homered in the home 6th to cut SF's lead to 3-2. Then Wells and Co. retired the last 12 M's after Drew's blast to keep the G-Men's championship hopes alive. Trevor Hoffman (3) got the save.

"This team is tough!", a beer soaked Wells crooned in the visitors locker room after the victory. "Wait 'til the Little Unit (Noah Lowry) shows 'em his stuff manana. Woof!"

Game Four puts Lowry vs game 1 winner Ben Sheets.
