Halladay's bunt — which appeared to be foul — helped spark a three-run third inning, when Shane Victorino drove in the first of two runs that scored on a field.
Roy Halladay pitched through a groin pull, outdueling Tim Lincecum and keeping the Philadelphia Phillies alive in the NL championship series with a 4-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night.
SAN FRANCISCO — Doc got the best of The Freak this time in a rematch of aces.
Jayson Werth's solo homer in the ninth quieted the raucous sellout crowd of 43,713, and many fans began making for the exits even before Philadelphia pulled within 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.

Placido Polanco followed with an RBI single, and the two-time reigning NL champions forced a Game 6 back home in Citizens Bank Park on Saturday and another cross-country trip. Jonathan Sanchez starts for the Giants against Roy Oswal, who is 10-0 in 12 starts at Philadelphia this year.
Philadelphia put San Francisco's celebration on hold. The Giants now must win once in two tries at Philly for the franchise's fourth pennant since moving West in 1958. San Francisco has not been to the World Series since the Giants' Barry Bonds-led team lost Game 7 to the Angels in 2002.
Philadelphia will try to become the 12th team to rally from a 3-1 deficit in a best-of-seven series.

After disappointing Big 12 start, Kansas refocuses for Iowa State
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Kansas is looking for a fresh start to the second half of conference play with a rematch against No.12 Iowa State (14-4 overall, 7-3 Big 12) on Saturday in Ames, Iowa. In their last meeting on Oct.9, the Jayhawks upset the then-No.10 Cyclones in a four-setter for the Jayhawks' first ever victory over a top-10 opponent. Since then, Iowa State has dropped two spots in the national rankings and Kansas (13-8, 4-6 Big 12) has suffered two bitter losses against Oklahoma and Texas in Lawrence.
Kansas around nine to three. As in the Oklahoma game, Kansas started out with a good hitting percentage .333 — but could not sustain the effort.
Kansas' defense kept Iowa State to a hitting percentage of .182 in the last match, but the Cyclones' offense has picked up steam with a win over the Colorado Buffaloes in a four-setter on Wednesday. Colorado outside hitter Victoria Henson reached a season-high 24 kills, making the 24th match for her to record 10 or more. She also added 16 digs for her eight double-double of the season. Outside hitter Carly Jenson also posted a double-double with 15 kills and 15 digs, and sophomore middle blocker Jamie Straube added 13 kills to the effort. The Cyclones finished the match with a hitting percentage of .338 — the first time they had hit better than .300 since their victory over Oklahoma on Sept. 25.
Coach Ray Bechard said the number one task for Kansas was to keep their opponents' offense from being as successful as Oklahoma and Texas.
"This is the last 10 games, potentially," she said. "So how can we start off right so that we push ourselves and get us in a good position?"
Sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree played big in the Oct. 9 win against the Cyclones, recording 11 kills with an efficiency of 667, the best of any player in the match. Tolefree said the team is looking to change their momentum in the latter half of Big 12 play.

The layhawks have gotten off to strong starts in their past two matches, only to see the contests slip away in successive sets. Kansas hit for an efficiency of .237 in the opening set against Oklahoma on Oct. 16, but those numbers dropped to -.032 and .154 in the second and third sets. Oklahoma scored 13 more kills than Kansas in the three sets and kept their hitting percentage above .350 throughout, sweeping the match.

A record of 4-6 was not what the team had hoped for in the first half of conference play, but Bechard said that he was hopeful that the Jayhawks could reverse those numbers.
"We get up into the 18, 19, 20 win range, we think we've got a chance," he said, "and that's what we'll be striving for each and every day."
