one of the most compelling lines of this squad is their first baseman aubrey huff. grew up not far from here. in fact, this is a homecoming for huff. he grew up a texas rapingers fa. his father was murdered when he was a young boy, his mother didn't have much mother, yet huff took solace in baseball and basketball. >> aubrey huff and his fiercely competitive nature has been part of this giants world series run. >> with aubrey, the thing that he had was great work habits. >> reporter: huff has supporters in both venues during the world series, the legion of fans he made in the bay area and the folks in texas who can say they knew him when. he was born and raised 70 miles west of here in a town called mineral wells. halfway through high school he transferred to ft. worth brewer high. his coach got a firsthand look at how serious huff was about making his name in baseball. >> he had his own batting cage, he had his own bat machine, and i'm telling you, you know, he worked at his trade. >> reporter: he also had another coach who saw the intensity in hi eyes, but kenny w

not enough to allow aubrey huff to go to third base. ulder. he knows he's going to third, and stops there. again, werth with the save so far. >> joe: and now juan uribe, who didn't get to start because of his sore left wrist, and he admitted to bruce bochy it's still bothering him but he's at the plate with a chance to win game four, and the infield comes in. first and third, one out. and oswalt comes right after him. why not test that wrist with hard stuff. strike 1. >> tim: that's a very good point and that's a point well-taken. i don't think office will be featuring anything but the fastball to uribe. right under the chin. 1-1. that's a foul ball. uribe is trying to say it hit him. i think it hit the bat. but we are going to get another argument. >> tim: yep. >> joe: we will get another look at it as bruce bochy wants to talk to wally bell, the home plate umpire. let's listen eventually and watch right now. >> tim: hit his hands, it looked like. >> joe: i think so, too. >> tim: he holds the bat down below the knob. checks it, and righ

he appears to be all right. >> joe: two on for aubrey huff. who has an rbi in this game. takes a ball. in the bottom of the ninth inning, the phillies will have the nine, one, and two spots. >> joe: here is a 1-0. huff takes strike one. phillies did not double switch. so it would be the pitcher's spot first up. that rollins then polanco. >> joe: the 1-1 pitch. huff hits it down to the right-field corner. hooking foul. strike two. >> joe: a 1-2. and huff strikes out. two away, and the second strike-out for lidge. >> tim: wicked slider to get huff. >> joe: now you've got buster posey up. and brian wilson on deck. that brings charlie manuel out to the mound. >> tim: i think pablo sandoval is out there as a decoy. i don't think bruce bochy is going to pinch-hit for his closer. i don't think you take that chance. you pinch-hit, and sandoval makes an out, you still have a one-run game. with someone other than brian wilson out there. i think it's a decoy by bruce bochy. >> joe: right now it's two on, two out for buster posey. bruce bochy made the double switch in the eighth and b

that will bring in aubrey huff. >> tim: not only a base hit with two outs, but a high fastba fastballsanchez jumps on it. and doubles down the line. >> joe: that quiets this crowd. it brings in huff. who in this post season is now 5-28, with eight strike-outs against right-handed pitching. he is dealing with ryan madson. they're going to walk huff. and pitch to the rookie buster posey. >> tim: that was interesting. you don't see a catcher go out to the mound and talk to a pitcher, if the hitter is going to be walked intentionally. i think ruiz going out there coerced charlie manuel to say well, let's just walk him. instead of pitching around him. they'll pitch to buster posey, who had five hits in the nlcs. four of those came in one game. regardless of what happens, this is a good move. it makes sense. >> joe: brings rich dubee out of the dugout, the pitching coach to talk about the approach with posey who is 0-3 tonight. two nights ago in game five, the first batter madson faced was buster posey and struck him out. that was that at-bat on thursday night. the runners in scoring positi

what a play by aubrey huff! [ applause ] >> tim: a base hit for kinsler. sler thought the ball was by him. this was no way that huff could make it, thought ian. he is tagged out because he went toward second base. once you make that move, you're done. >> joe: so huff who has an error the last inning came off the bag and made that diving stop. turned it in to an out. strike one on molina. >> joe: here is the 0-1. breaking ball. popped up. foul territory out of play. here is the other beard. brian wilson. >> yeah! yeah! >> joe: that's not fake. it just looks it. like from a kid's disguise kit. >> tim: it is dyed. >> joe: although he won't admit that. >> tim: no. well, you get a little older, believe me, you have to start doing stuff like that. the 0-2. >> joe: two outs, as romo gets the strike-out. the world series on fox sponsored by taco bell. think outside the bun. sponsored by directv. and mastercard, preferred card of major league baseball. bruce bochy makes his way out of the dugout. romo goes 2/3. allows a hit. gets a strike-out. lopez coming in. they'

that will bring in aubrey huff. >> tim: not only a base hit with two outs, but a high fastba fastball. sanchez jumps on it. and doubles down the line. >> joe: that quiets this crowd. it brings in huff. who in this post season is now 5-28, with eight strike-outs against right-handed pitching. he is dealing with ryan madson. they're going to walk huff. and pitch to the rookie buster posey. >> tim: that was interesting. you don't see a catcher go out to the mound and talk to a pitcher, if the hitter is going to be walked intentionally. i think ruiz going out there coerced charlie manuel to say well, let's just walk him. instead of pitching around him. they'll pitch to buster posey, who had five hits in the nlcs. four of those came in one game. regardless of what happens, this is a good move. it makes sense. >> joe: brings rich dubee out of the dugout, the pitching coach to talk about the approach with posey who is 0-3 tonight. two nights ago in game five, the first batter madson faced was buster posey and struck him out. that was that at-bat on thursday night. the runners in scoring posi

aubrey huff takes it to left center. sanchez sprints all the way home from first. 2-0 giants. sanchez pitched five shutout innings. then ramone ramirez faces tejada, two in, two out. you can't hit what you can't see. rookie of the year buster posey belts his 18th homerun of the year to start the 8th inning. it is 3-0. that was just saying thank you, fans. and then who else is going to close this thing out but brian wilson. he strikes out venable and 3-0 is your final. giants win the national league west.

and aubrey huff has never been to the playoffs in his ten-year career. i asked him what it felt like. >> we knew it would come down to this. man, i don't have the words. >> don't know what's going to happen. we win this game, going to be huge for us. we won the game and then running to the fans. they're amazing fans. i love the people here. >> a great feeling. we battled. always never give up. and it's been a blessing. and thanks to the town for supporting us. >> mike: i tell you what it's a great feeling we haven't felt this since 2003. we will have more from the champagne-drenched clubhouse later in sports. abc-7 sports. >> larry: looks like a great scene. the giants open the postseason on thursday against the braves. the party is just beginning. the party is just beginning. >> alan: a lot of tough games ahead to get to the world series. >> larry: let's take this right now. they're in the playoffs. enjoy it. >> alan: thanks, larry. the victory party continues outside of at&t park. that's where lillian kim is with giants fans who are pouring out on to t
