Hey guys,

San Francisco's torrid postseason run ends with a clutch extra-innings victory over Detroit.

Here's the story:

Giants sweep Tigers for World Series title on Marco Scutaro's winning hit
By Les Carpenter

DETROIT – The end came much like this series, not with a boom, but with a little fly ball that fell through the 10th inning raindrops and onto the Comerica Park outfield grass for a single that would win the San Francisco Giants the 2012 World Series.

In a series where new heroes come nightly and from a roster of anonymous names, the star would be second baseman Marco Scutaro, whose fly ball fell in front of Detroit Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson. It scored journeyman infielder Ryan Theriot, who slid across home plate for what would be the winning run in a 4-3 victory in Game 4 on Sunday night.

And after closer Sergio Romo struck out Miguel Cabrera for the final out, the Giants raced to the center of the infield to celebrate their second World Series championship in three years. It's the franchise's seventh world title.
It was fitting that Cabrera was the final out. After all, it was the failure of Detroit's big hitters, primarily Cabrera and Prince Fielder, that led to the Tigers' demise in this series. Their silence had as much to do with San Francisco's sweep as the Giants' resourcefulness.

Like they have in this World Series, the Giants scored first on Sunday. Only unlike the other games, they couldn't hold onto the lead. Hunter Pence hit a fly ball in the second inning that rose high toward center field and carried over the heads of the outfielders before finally bouncing on the warning track and dropping over the fence for a double. The next hitter, Brandon Belt, hit a fly ball down the right field line that smacked against the fence. By the time the Tigers got the ball back to the field Belt had a triple, Pence had scored and San Francisco was up 1-0.

The lead disappeared an inning later when Austin Jackson walked and two batters later Cabrera hit what appeared to be a routine fly ball to right field that got caught in the roaring wind and carried and carried until it disappeared in the crowd for the Triple Crown winner's first home run of the World Series.

For Detroit, though, the problem was that pitcher Max Scherzer couldn't hold the 2-1 lead. In the top of the sixth he gave up a single to Scutaro and then two batters later he got a 1-0 changeup over the middle of the plate and Giants catcher Buster Posey pulled it down the left-field line. The ball curled just inside the foul pole for a home run that sent the San Francisco players running and jumping in their dugout.

The 3-2 lead lasted two batters into the bottom of the inning when Delmon Young hit a home run to right to tie the game at 3-3, where the game would be stuck until Theriot and Scutaro won it in the 10th inning.

I agree, down 0-2 and having to win 3 games at the Reds, I thought they were done, but they did it. Then they got down 3-1 to the Cardinals, but damn they came back and won that series too. I thought their luck would run out against the Tigers, but no, they flat out destroyed them. lol Give credit where credits due, the Giants deserved that title.

The San Francisco Giants were no match for Peyton Manning vs. Drew Brees.
