#3. Colorado 9 San Diego 8, 13 Innings
Oct. 1, 2007
Down two runs in the bottom of the 13th inning and facing baseball's all-time saves leader, Trevor Hoffman of the San Diego Padres, the Colorado Rockies looked like they had reached the end of a dream season. But the resurgent Rocks, who had won 13 of their final 14 games to force a one-game playoff for the National League Wild Card, strung together a stirring rally. Matt Holliday scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly; though replays showed he never really touched home plate, bedlam erupted in Coors Field, and the Rockies roared into the World Series.
