    ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Jim Edmonds skipped around the bases, jumping into a cluster of St. Louis Cardinals waiting for him at home plate.

    Now, waiting for all of them is Roger Clemens in an all-or-nothing Game 7.

    Edmonds blasted a two-run homer in the 12th inning and the rejuvenated Cardinals turned Busch Stadium into a red frenzy, beating the Houston Astros 6-4 Wednesday to even the NL championship series at 3-all.

    ``We all watched TV as kids. We all hear all the stuff you guys say and write and show us. I finally get to play in a Game 7,'' Edmonds said.

    ``I think how much better does it get? Game 7 vs. Roger Clemens,'' he said.

    After Jeff Bagwell's two-out single in the ninth off Cardinals closer Jason Isringhausen tied it at 4, Edmonds won it with a one-out shot off Dan Miceli.

    Bagwell didn't even bother watching as Edmonds' shot sailed way over the St. Louis bullpen in right field. The star first baseman simply walked across the field while the Cardinals streamed out of the dugout.

    Righty Julian Tavarez went two innings for the victory. He pitched with a left hand that he broke in a dugout tantrum in Houston.

    ``It's my understanding that it's the fingers that are broken as opposed to the hand, so I'm not surprised. He did throw well,'' Garner said.

    The Cardinals won a postseason game in extra innings for the first time since the 1964 World Series at Yankee Stadium.

    Miceli came on after Astros superman Brad Lidge blew away St. Louis for three perfect innings, striking out five.
