NLCS Game 5 - "Van Slyke Walkoff"

GAME 5
J.Kelly vs Greinke
Dodgers 5, Cardinals 2



In a re-match of game 1 starters the pressure was clearly on Cardinal hurler Joe Kelly who was entrusted with trying to hold off elimination.  Both he and Greinke dueled for 6 innings with Kelly besting Greinke thanks to a 2 run top of the 3rd.  LA managed a run in the 6th to make it 2-1, but for the second night in a row the Cardinal pen found a way to implode.  A Hanley Ramirez solo shot in the 8th off of Miller tied the game and a walk off 3 run shot by Scott Van Slyke off of Mujica ended the game and the series in grand fashion for LA.  The Dodgers head to the fall classic and await the winner of the Red Sox-Tigers ALCS.
Dodgers win series 4-1
