Darren Ford heard a voice that told him to go. It did not comefrom third-base coach Tim Flannery, who later smiled and said, "Ihad nothing to do with it." The voice did not emanate from a teammate, any of the 9,832 fansat PNC Park, or from a Pirate trying to deke him. It came fromFord's mind, which understood what Pittsburgh second baseman NeilWalker did not, that Ford was fast enough, bold enough and crazyenough to win a game in the 10th inning with a play that baseballmight not see in the next 10 years. "I just took off and let my God-given talent take over," Fordsaid Tuesday night after his thrilling dash home on a FreddySanchez groundball gave the Giants a 3-2 victory that endedtheir losing streak at four.
