PETERSBURG -- The Rays were one great play from escaping the
sixth inning with no runs being scored in Game 5 of the World
Series, and second baseman Akinori Iwamura, who found himself in
the middle of the action for most of the Series, looked like
just the guy to make that play.  Complete Coverage  The
continuation of Game 5 began with the Phillies hitting in the
bottom of the sixth. With one out in the inning, Geoff Jenkins
stood on third for the Phillies, 90 feet away from scoring the
go-ahead run. Rays manager Joe Maddon opted to have the infield
play in against the next hitter, Jayson Werth, who promptly hit
a blooper just over the infield clay.  Iwamura gave chase and
tried to make an over-the-shoulder catch. Unfortunately for
Iwamura and the Rays, the ball just eluded Iwamura and fell to
the turf, allowing the Phillies to take a 3-2 lead.  "Yeah, he
almost had it," Rays shortstop Jason Bartlett said. "I think it
hit off his arm or something.
