NCLS: TRAVIS ISHIKAWA'S WALK-OFF THREE-RUN HOMER SENDS GIANTS TO THIRD WORLD SERIES APPEARANCE IN FIVE YEARS; MADISON BUMGARNER NAMED SERIES MVP

At San Francisco:

After Michael Morse (batting for starting pitcher---and series Most Valuable Player---Madison Bumgarner) equalized the game with his eighth-inning lead-off pinch-hit homer, Travis Ishikawa, in the ninth inning, crushed a walk-off three-run shot (the first game-ending home run in National League Championship Series history) as the San Francisco Giants locked up their third National League pennant in the last five years with their 6-3 championship series game-five home win on Thursday over the St. Louis Cardinals and took the series four games to one.

The Giants will face the Kansas City Royals in the World Series, which starts on Tuesday night in Kansas City.
