SAN FRANCISCO - The San Francisco Giants don't have a Rally Monkey, and the Anaheim Angels wouldn't let them use their Rally Barry last night at Pacific Bell Park.

Somehow, the Giants still managed to overcome a three-run deficit in Game 4 and pulled out a 4-3 victory that evened this best-of-seven World Series at two games each.

Credit belongs to Benito Santiago, who hit into two double plays with the bases loaded before tying the score with an RBI single during a three-run fifth inning.

It belongs to Kirk Rueter, who gave the Giants a quality start when they absolutely had to have one, and the three relievers - Felix Rodriguez, Tim Worrell and Robb Nen - who delivered three scoreless innings.

And, finally, it belongs to J.T. Snow and David Bell, who turned two singles into a game-winning unearned run in the bottom of the eighth inning with the help of a passed ball charged to Anaheim catcher Bengie Molina.

Snow opened the eighth with a single to right field off reliever Francisco Rodriguez, the Angels' rookie righthander who had a 5-0 record after his eight previous postseason appearances.

Molina's passed ball allowed Snow to reach second base with nobody out, but Reggie Sanders failed in his sacrifice-bunt attempt to advance the runner to third when first baseman Scott Spiezio made a sensational diving catch in foul territory.

That left the unassuming Bell, the Giants' No. 8 hitter, with a chance to become one of those unlikely World Series heroes who surface every October.

Bell, the son of former major-leaguer Buddy Bell and grandson of Gus Bell, pounced on that chance, sending a 1-0 pitch through the middle of the infield for the game-winning single.

He said it helped having faced Rodriguez in Game 2 at Anaheim's Edison Field.

"It's always nice to see a pitcher one time," Bell said. "I didn't see too many pitches either at-bat, but I do think it helped to be able to have faced him once before."

Giants manager Dusty Baker said he would have been faced with a difficult situation if Bell had not delivered when he did.

"That was a very, very big spot right there, because if David doesn't come through, then I have Nen [in a tie game] and I have to double switch and take somebody out I don't want to take out," Baker said.

Nen, after allowing a one-out single to pinch-hitter Adam Kennedy, got a double-play grounder from pinch-hitter Brad Fullmer to end the game.

So now the World Series is guaranteed to return to Disneyland for Game 6 on Saturday. Anaheim's Jarrod Washburn and San Francisco's Jason Schmidt will be the starters in tonight's pivotal Game 5. Schmidt beat Washburn and the Angels in Game 1.

Slugger Barry Bonds was allowed to swing in just one of his four plate appearances as the Angels opted to intentionally walk him three other times. That brought his intentional walk total to an amazing 11 in 14 postseason games. His overall walk total is 23 and his on-base percentage is .557.

The only time the Angels pitched to him, Bonds grounded out against Rodriguez in the seventh inning.

"I don't need to see Barry hit any more home runs to gain any more respect for his talent," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Right now, he's locked in. If there's going to be an opportunity to make Benito or J.T. or Reggie beat us, I think we're going to try to take advantage of that."

While the Angels have adopted a "don't-let-Barry-beat-us" philosophy, the Giants have discovered that Troy Glaus can do some damage with one swing, too.

After scoring on three straight singles and a sacrifice fly by David Eckstein in the second inning, the Angels took a 3-0 lead in the third when Glaus connected for his third home run of the World Series, a two-run shot over the center-field wall off lefthander Rueter.

It was Glaus' seventh home run of the postseason, matching Bonds in the power department. The two share the postseason record.

John Lackey, pitching on his 23d birthday, held that lead for four innings and exhibited remarkable rookie aplomb in the process, pitching out of two bases-loaded jams.

A couple of soft singles placed Lackey in a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the bottom of the first. After Kenny Lofton opened the inning with an infield single and Rich Aurilia followed with a bloop single, Lackey struck out the struggling Jeff Kent on a 3-2 pitch.

Up stepped Bonds and out went the order for an intentional walk.

As the crowd cried chicken, the Angels celebrated an inning-ending double play off Santiago's bat.

Two innings later, Lackey found himself in an almost identical situation and got an identical result.

After Lofton singled and Aurilia doubled, Kent hit a line drive up the middle that was snared in self-defense by Lackey for the first out of the inning.

Up stepped Bonds, out went the order for another intentional walk. Shortly after the crowd finished performing the chicken dance, Lackey induced another inning-ending double play grounder from Santiago.

The two would meet again.

With the Giants down by 3-0, Rueter reached base on an infield single to start the bottom of the fifth.

Momentum swung in the Giants' direction when Lofton laid down a bunt that hugged the third-base chalk line. Glaus, the third baseman, patiently waited for the ball to roll foul. When it did, he reached down to pick it up.

In the second it took him to do so, however, the ball mysteriously rolled back into fair territory.

Once again, Lackey was in trouble, and this time there would be no great escape.

Aurilia delivered his third hit of the night, an RBI single into right-center. Kent ended some of his personal frustration with a sacrifice fly to right field, pulling the Giants to within a run.

Up stepped Bonds.

Cue the chicken music.

Issue the intentional walk.

You know the routine.

Santiago had another chance.

This time, he reached out for a 1-0 fastball from Lackey and delivered a game-tying RBI single into center field.

The game was even and soon the World Series was, too.
