Holliday delivers go-ahead run in marathon win

<h3>COLORADO 7, LA DODGERS 4 (14 INNINGS)</h3>LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Matt Holliday wasn't about to letanother gift-wrapped opportunity pass his team by.

Holliday hit the go-ahead single in the 14th inning as theColorado Rockies posted a 7-4, 14-inning victory over the LosAngeles Dodgers on Saturday.


Holliday, who was 0-for-6 entering the final inning, broke the4-4 deadlock in the 14th when he singled off Dodgers relieverRoberto Hernandez (0-2) into shallow center to put the Rockiesahead 5-4.


Three batters later, Brad Hawpe collected his fourth hit of thegame, lining a two-run single up the middle to plate twoinsurance runs and extend the lead to 7-4.


Former Dodger Matt Herges (2-0) pitched two perfect innings inthe 12th and 13th for the win. Closer Manny Corpas set down theside in order in the 14th to notch his 11th save in 13 chancesfor the Rockies, who won the five-hour, six-minute marathon -the second-longest game in franchise history.


The Rockies wasted a golden chance to blow the game open in thetop of the 11th as they loaded the bases with no outs off Dodgerreliever Rudy Seanez.


Troy Tulowitzki doubled to deep left-center to open the frameand moved to third when Geronimo Gil reached on a fielder'schoice. Pinch hitter Ryan Spilborghs then drew a walk to loadthe bases.


However, Colorado could not take advantage when Kaz Matsuistruck out swinging and Cory Sullivan grounded into aninning-ending 4-2-5 double play.


This was not the only opportunity the Rockies had to closethings out. Colorado took a 4-1 lead in the top of the seventhwhen Sullivan scored Matsui with an RBI single.


However, Shea Hillenbrand, who only joined the Dodgers on Mondayafter the team placed regular third baseman Nomar Garciaparraon the disabled list, brought the Dodgers back, finishing withfour hits.


His RBI single scored Russell Martin in the bottom of theseventh and cut the lead to 4-2. The duo repeated the featafter Olmedo Saenz's RBI double-play groundout in the eighth,when Hillenbrand singled for the third time in the contest totie the game at 4-4.

Holliday delivers go-ahead run in marathon win

<h3>COLORADO 7, LA DODGERS 4 (14 INNINGS)</h3>LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Matt Holliday was not about to letanother gift-wrapped opportunity pass his team by.

Holliday hit the go-ahead single in the 14th inning as theColorado Rockies posted a 7-4, 14-inning victory over the LosAngeles Dodgers on Saturday.


"I definately haven't been hitting well this series, but anytimeyou can come up with that big hit to help the team get a winthen it's worth it," Holliday said.


Holliday, who was 0-for-6 entering the final inning, broke the4-4 deadlock in the 14th when he singled off Dodgers relieverRoberto Hernandez (0-2) into shallow center to put the Rockiesahead 5-4.


"You know Matt is the type of hitter that won't go through longslumps, and tonight he came up with that big hit we needed,"Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said.


Three batters later, Brad Hawpe collected his fourth hit of thegame, lining a two-run single up the middle to plate twoinsurance runs and extend the lead to 7-4.


"It was just one of those games where we thought it was nevergoing to end," Hawpe said. "They have a good pitching staff andit feels good to string together some hits tonight."

Former Dodger Matt Herges (2-0) pitched two perfect innings inthe 12th and 13th for the win. Closer Manny Corpas set down theside in order in the 14th to notch his 11th save in 13 chancesfor the Rockies, who won the five-hour, six-minute marathon -the second-longest game in franchise history.


"For the team it was a huge win," Herges said. "It's the kindof win when we can look back and say it was our turning point.Felt good to come back here and pitch good."


The Rockies wasted a golden chance to blow the game open in thetop of the 11th as they loaded the bases with no outs off Dodgerreliever Rudy Seanez.


"We got lucky that our defense was in the right spot at theright time," Dodgers manager Grady Little said. "Raffy (Furcal)made a great play and throw to get us out of that inning."

Troy Tulowitzki doubled to deep left-center to open the frameand moved to third when Geronimo Gil reached on a fielder'schoice. Pinch hitter Ryan Spilborghs then drew a walk to loadthe bases.


However, Colorado could not take advantage when Kaz Matsuistruck out swinging and Cory Sullivan grounded into aninning-ending 4-2-5 double play.


This was not the only opportunity the Rockies had to closethings out. Colorado took a 4-1 lead in the top of the seventhwhen Sullivan scored Matsui with an RBI single.


However, Shea Hillenbrand, who only joined the Dodgers on Mondayafter the team placed regular third baseman Nomar Garciaparraon the disabled list, brought the Dodgers back, finishing withfour hits.


"Shea helped us out tonight," Little said. "He contributed in abig way and came up with some big hits."


His RBI single scored Russell Martin in the bottom of theseventh and cut the lead to 4-2. The duo repeated the featafter Olmedo Saenz's RBI double-play groundout in the eighth,when Hillenbrand singled for the third time in the contest totie the game at 4-4.
