Intro:

Postgame reaction after the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri to advance to the National League Championship Series (NLCS).

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Clint Hurdle, Pittsburgh Pirates Manager
"Every time we turned around, (Adam) Wainwright got in the way tonight. We were able to, the at bats were better, the approach got better, but he kept making pitches. The last two games they kept us off the plate. We scored two runs in 18 innings, so there is no safety net. We tip our hat to the Cardinals. I think this rivalry has turned into something that baseball can be proud of. It's become a rivalry for all the right reasons. Professional respect, the way the game is played, the effort. They beat a very good team."

SOUNDBITE (English) Mike Matheny, St. Louis Cardinals Manager
"Well, we'll take him (Adam Wainwright) on the mound any day, especially in a big situation. I love the fact that everybody kept asking him about Game 5 last year, because I knew that was just bringing even more to the table, if you could even do that. But he's done such a great job leading our pitching staff, and he's had a tough job, he and Yadier (Molina) both, with so many young guys. You've got a lot of teaching to do, but you better be able to back it up. He's done an incredible job this year on both sides, teaching and showing the guys by example how you go about your business."
