The Sixers were a team reborn in the second half and played like a squad that refused to roll over for the championship-tested Celtics. They tied the series at 2-2 and guaranteed a return home for one more game.

Iguodala one of the more maligned athletes in recent Philadelphia history put the Sixers ahead 85-83 and buried a 3-pointer for a five-point lead.

Game 5 is Monday in Boston.

Iguodala scored 16 points Evan Turner had 16 and Lou Williams added 15.

Kevin Garnett had his first bad outing in an otherwise monster series with nine points. With Garnett in a funk so were the Celtics.

 • Hamels Pitches Phillies Past Red Sox 6-4 http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2012/05/18/hamels-pitches-phillies-past-red-sox-6-4/ http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2012/05/18/hamels-pitches-phillies-past-red-sox-6-4/#comments Sat 19 May 2012 02:23:05 0000 Crystal Cranmore http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/?p=266331 Cole Hamels pitched seven strong innings and Hunter Pence and Freddy Galvis homered to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to their sixth straight victory with a 6-4 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night.> PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cole Hamels pitched seven strong innings and Hunter Pence and Freddy Galvis homered to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to their sixth straight victory with a 6-4 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night.

Hamels (6-1) gave up three runs on six hits while striking out nine and walking one. It was the sixth straight win for Hamels who improved to 4-0 in five career starts against Boston.

Streaking Carlos Ruiz went 2 for 3 with a pair of RBIs for Philadelphia which moved two games above .500 for the first time this season. Ruiz who entered leading major league catchers in several offensive categories is 11 for 17 in his last five games.

Jonathan Papelbon pitched a scoreless ninth for his 12th save in as many chances. Papelbon had 219 saves in six seasons with the Red Sox before signing a four-year $50 million deal with Philadelphia in the offseason.

Adrian Gonzalez Mike Aviles and Cody Ross homered for the Red Sox.

The game matched clubs with the second- (Phillies $175 million) and third-highest (Red Sox $173 million) payrolls though each entered in last place in their division.

Daniel Bard (3-5) converted to a starter before this season matched his shortest outing of the year by allowing five runs on three hits with five walks in five innings.

The right-hander struggled with control in the first inning when the Phillies scored four runs on just two hits thanks to three walks. Philadelphia went up 2-0 on Ruiz’s two-run single to center before Ty Wigginton’s sacrifice fly and John Mayberry Jr.’s RBI double gave the Phillies a four-run lead.

Boston got a run back in the third on Aviles’ solo homer to left in the third. The Red Sox put runners on first and second with no outs in the fourth but managed just one run on Daniel Nava’s sacrifice fly.

Pence upped Philadelphia’s advantage to 5-2 with a solo homer to left-center in the fifth before Ross responded with his own homer in the sixth to pull Boston within 5-3. It was Ross’ fifth off of Hamels in 37 at-bats.

Gonzalez’s homer off the second deck in right off reliever Chad Qualls in the eighth made it 5-4. But
Galvis got the run back in the bottom of the frame with a solo shot to left off Franklin Morales.

Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia was forced to leave the game in the bottom of the fifth with a cut on his left ear after Bard’s pitch hit Wigginton deflected off Wigginton’s right forearm and hit the catcher on the left side of the head just below the ear.

Saltalamacchia immediately went to the ground appearing to be in a great deal of pain and stayed face down for a few minutes before being attended to by the Boston training staff. He walked off under his own power and was replaced by Kelly Shoppach.

Boston manager Bobby Valentine was ejected in the ninth inning by first-base umpire Gary Darling for arguing Darling’s out call at first base on Marlon Byrd’s groundout.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Residents in the Lawndale section of Northeast Philadelphia are wondering what type of poison the city is using to kill massive rats that are turning up dead on their street.

On a pristine tree-lined street Robert O’Brien says the size of the dead rats that he and his neighbors are scooping up is unbelievable and he has a lot of questions.

“The big concerns are we have a lot of kids and a lot of animals around — people walking their dogs. Is it safe? I mean is my dog going to bite something? Where are these traps? Are they toxic to just the rodents or can it affect my dog? Is it something the kids can touch?”

The rats are apparently coming in from a storm drain at the intersection of Oakley and Martins Mill roads an issue Robert admits the city has addressed with poison but he wants more disclosure.

“What you’re doing your plan of action. Like anything in life you just want to know what’s going on.”

A spokesman for the water department says the matter is under investigation.

By Oren Liebermann

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) —
You might as well call it “Facebook Friday” with all the buzz the social media site generated with its initial public offering. The IPO was one of the largest in history bringing in $16 billion for the company that was founded in a Harvard dorm room eight years ago.

“It’s a watershed company” said Michael Galantino Managing Director at Boenning and Scattergood. “It’s a once in 10 or 15 year developmental company. The question is is it a good investment?”

The IPO was delayed until 11:30 a.m. when the sheer volume of trades overloaded Nasdaq computers. Facebook traded 82 million shares in the first thirty seconds. But investors looking for a huge surge from $42 per share were disappointed when the price dropped.

“Once it hit $40 there was a rash of selling thinking ‘Oh my God I got to get out of this now’ so there was a little bit of panic selling” said Galantino.

Galantino says emotion fueled the early trading not real analysis of the company. Now every investor can own a small piece of Facebook but Galantino urges patience.

“Wait to see what happens on Monday and Tuesday and then the real buyers will show up not the emotional guys who are trying to trade this thing.”

The hype leading up to the Facebook IPO petered out when it came time to trade shares. It might have been Facebook Friday but it will be back to work on Monday in Menlo Park making sure the social network is here to stay.

By Brad Segall and Diana Rocco

FORT WASHINGTON Pa. (CBS) — Dozens of residents of a Montgomery County apartment complex are scrambling to find new homes facing an imminent deadline after their complex was condemned by township officials.

“My personal belongings are going in my trunk” says Fran Allagbe who has considered sleeping in her car unsure of where she’ll go.

U-Haul trucks filled the parking lot at Washington Towers on Bethlehem Pike Friday as residents loaded up their personal belongings. They were given two days to pack up after township officials determined that mounting code violations made the building unsafe.

“The last thing anybody wants to do is displace residents so we have worked hard to make this livable” says Whitemarsh supervisor Bob Hart. “But when it gets to a certain point that we have no other choice … we have no other choice.”

The violations he says include exposed wiring emergency doors that don’t work and malfunctioning elevators.

Tenant John Emmell was frustrated with both the township and the landlord.

“We don’t have a place to go to” he told KYW Newsradio. “We’re just going to put our stuff in storage and see what happens.”

The township says it will work with social service agencies to find the residents new homes and the landlord says he will bring in a contractor to bring the 80-unit building back up to code as soon as possible.

By Al Novack Jericka Duncan and Mike DeNardo

UPPER MERION Pa. (CBS) — It’s an accident that had never happened before at the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News newspaper processing plant. A rail engineer unloading newspaper print rolls was crushed Friday morning.

“It’s an unfortunate freak accident” said Lt. Thomas Nolan with Upper Merion Township.

The accident happened just before 9:30 a.m. as two rail workers unloaded rolls of newsprint at the plant near River Road and 3rd Street in Conshohocken.

Upper Merion police lieutenant Tom Nolan says 43-year-old Jefferson Troester of Claymont Delaware opened the door to a boxcar and two 1500-pound rolls of newsprint tumbled out.

“Two of the rolls fell out pinning that worker between the train and the loading dock area” Nolan says.

A co-worker tried to move the roll while others called 911. But according to Nolan Troester showed no signs of life when rescue crews arrived. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Lt. Nolan says the rolls in the other boxcars were secured but for some reason these rolls shifted en route.

“At this point That’s what we believe — that it did shift in transit. And then pretty quickly after the door was opened it did fall out.”

Officials tell Eyewitness News that Troester was employed with Arcelor Mittal Steel Company which owns Brandywine Valley Railways. Employees who spoke to Eyewitness News off-camera described Troester as a hard working long time employee who had moved up from maintenance worker to rail engineer.

“It’s very difficult” said Mark Block with the Philadelphia Media Network.

Block says that even though Troester wasn’t an employee with the papers he was still a vital part of their team.

“He was bringing a product essential to our product and to the building” said Block. “You never want this to happen. It’s a very sad day.”

A spokesperson for Plymouth Railroad says the company is cooperating with all state and federal regulatory agencies and has launched an investigation to determine the cause of the incident.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - A man riding a personal watercraft on Friday was knocked unconscious after attempting to jump a wave on the Delaware River according to authorities.

The accident was reported at about 2:30 p.m. near Timber Creek. Authorities say a crew member aboard the tugboat Candice reported to the Coast Guard that a person aboard a watercraft was trying to ride the tug’s wake but fell in the water.

Authorities say the victim identified as 23-year-old Casey Shubert was injured and became unconscious after reportedly hitting the handle bar on the watercraft. Shubert’s friend Ilya Iofik was there at the time of the accident and helped rescue him.

“I thought he just fell off. It happens all the time” Iofik said. “He was unconscious facing down. The life vest was keeping him afloat but someone had to get there to help him.”

A crew from Coast Guard Station Philadelphia rescued Shubert and he was taken to Hahnemann University Hospital. Authorities say Shubert regained consciousness and his injuries do not appear to be life threatening.

A crew member from the station said the situation may have been worse had Shubert not been wearing a life jacket.

The Most Important Election in our Lives. The problems are huge so the solution has to be huge also. The only way to get the Congress and the White House to represent the people again is to fire all the incumbents. Everyone hates their Congress but loves their congressman. Well guess what??? Your Congressman is a part of Congress. What we need to do is send Independents to Congress. People whose pockets which have not be lined with money from big business or Wall Street. After we elect a new Congress we then pass a Balanced Budget Amendment and get it to the states as quick as possible. Put in term limits and make the position of a Senator or House Representative a labor of patriotism and not a way to get rich. Then we put together a budget that lives within our means and put in a flat tax that is the same for everyone. I am ready to lead this peaceful revolution.
