Rockies Sweep Into World Series

Riding a Rocky Mountain High like none other, Colorado is heading to its first World Series.

With their 21st win in 22 games, the relentless Rockies beat the rattled Diamondbacks 6-4 in Game 4 Monday night to sweep the NL championship series at a chilly Coors Field.

Series MVP Matt Holliday's three-run, 452-foot shot into the pine-filled rock pile in center field capped a six-run outburst in the fourth inning, and the wild-card Rockies -- a team that debuted in 1993 -- were on their way.

Rockies Beat D-Backs; Game Delayed By Rowdy Fans

Jeff Francis and the Rockies rolled right past the Diamondbacks and their rowdy fans.

Francis outpitched Brandon Webb, and the Rockies won the NL championship series opener 5-1 Thursday night in a game interrupted when fans, angered by an umpire's disputed interference call, threw objects onto the field.

Umpires pulled the teams off the field during the eight-minute delay in the bottom of the seventh inning. Crew chief Tim McClelland told Rockies manager Clint Hurdle to have Francis throw a pitch and "fight through it."

Once play resumed, the Rockies escaped a jam in their NLCS debut and won for the 18th time in 19 games.
