Cardinals avoid elimination with 5-3 win over Phillies (Reuters)

(Reuters) ? The St. Louis Cardinals staved off elimination with a 5-3 victory over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday, forcing a deciding Game Five in their National League division playoff series.

Cardinals third baseman David Freese drove in four runs on a two-run double in the fourth inning and a two-run home run in the sixth off Phillies starter and loser Roy Oswalt as they tied the best-of-five series at 2-2.

St Louis starter Edwin Jackson registered the win, giving up two runs on five hits in six innings with one walk and four strikeouts.

Scheduled starters for Friday's Game Five in Philadelphia are Roy Halladay (19-6) for the Phillies and Chris Carpenter (11-9).
