ST. LOUIS (AP) -- On this wild night of celebration, the Houston Astros owed it all to Roy Oswalt.

He took their dreams, hopes and gritty resolve and pitched his teammates into their first World Series, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 Wednesday night with help from Craig Biggio.

Coming off a crushing loss in Game 5 of the NL championship series at home on Albert Pujols' stunning homer, the stubborn Astros refused to be shaken. They jumped to an early lead behind Biggio and Jason Lane, got perhaps a little help from the umpires and watched Oswalt shut down St. Louis for seven innings.

Now that this wild-card team has its first NL pennant, the Astros will travel to Chicago take on the AL champion White Sox in the World Series, which begins Saturday night.
