"When I hit it, I had a pretty good feeling it was gone," Hawpesaid. "It felt great, but we still had another inning to play.I couldn't over-celebrate, I just had to be excited."

It was the second night in a row the Rockies have beaten theDodgers in dramatic fashion. Todd Helton delivered a 9-8victory with a walk-off blast on Tuesday.


"It's special for us," Hawpe said. "It's not something that youthink about during the game. We're in it right now, we're afew games back, and this is something special. It's what youplay for."


"Tonight was another situation where we took a knife to agunfight," Dodgers manager Grady Little said. "We got as muchmileage as we could off our 12 singles and three extra-basehits, and they got as much mileage as they could from thoseballs in the seats."
