World Series: Game 5

Game 5 started off strong for the Phillies when Shane Victorino knocked in two runs with a double. The rain started to pour and in the bottom of the fifth something terrible was coming into play; Would MLB and Bud Selig possibly let the Phillies win the World Series on the five-inning mother nature rule? Thankfully they were let off the hook when BJ Upton scored in the top of the sixth to tie it up, essentially forcing MLB to suspend the game until sunnier skies appear in Philadelphia. Phils fans will have to wait at least another night to complete Game 5 of the World Series. A wet, muddy field logo tells the story of Game 5’s rain delay. MLB has announced that Game 5 has been delayed until Wednesday. The announcement was made as the Philadelphia area continued to be pounded by rain, wind and even snow in some areas. Whenever the game continues the Phils will be coming to bat with the game tied 2-2.
