Dodgers Make 5 Errors in Loss at Candlestick : Baseball: Williams’ bases-loaded single gives Giants a 3-2 victory in the teams’ final game against each other this season.

SAN FRANCISCO —  It was fitting that Matt Williams’ bases-loaded single with two outs in the ninth inning produced a dramatic 3-2 victory for the San Francisco Giants over the Dodgers on Sunday night.

If the Giants move to St. Petersburg, Fla., after the season it will be the last game between the teams in San Francisco.

“The rivalry will be there no matter where these teams play,” said Giants Manager Roger Craig, a former Dodger pitcher. “This was a big win. The fans really got into it.”

Williams’ game-winner to center field off Roger McDowell (6-9) simply added to the history of the series and gave the Giants an 11-7 edge in the season series. The Dodgers hold a 329-314 advantage since the teams moved to the West Coast in 1958.

“You never know what’s going to happen at Candlestick,” said Williams, who was three for five. “A lot of strange things can happen here. But we really don’t know if we’re going. Nobody knows.”

Rookie Royce Clayton opened the ninth inning with an infield single and advanced to third base on a sacrifice and a grounder before Willie McGee singled to third to tie the game.

McGee advanced to second when third baseman Mike Sharperson threw wildly for an error.

After Will Clark was walked intentionally, Darren Lewis was safe on McDowell’s error to load the bases. It was the Dodgers’ fifth error of the game.

Dodger Manager Tom Lasorda seemed happy with the possibility of leaving Candlestick Park for good after another in a series of poor performances by his fielders.

“I have absolutely no love for this ballpark,” Lasorda said. “I’ll miss this city, but I won’t miss this park. We just couldn’t make the plays tonight.

“The rivalry started in New York. It was great then, and it just continued out here. What’ll happen now, I just can’t say.”

Right-hander Rod Beck (3-3) worked a perfect ninth inning for the victory.

The Dodgers took a 2-1 lead into the ninth on rookie Billy Ashley’s two-out RBI single in the seventh. Mike Piazza, another rookie,doubled off rookie left-handerKevin Rogers with one out andscored on Ashley’s single tocenter.

Dodger right-hander Kevin Gross, who pitched a no-hitter against the Giants the last time he faced them, on Aug. 17, worked the first seven innings, allowing seven hits with six strikeouts.

San Francisco opened the scoring in the first inning on Mike Felder’s leadoff single, a balk, McGee’s sacrifice and Clark’s sacrifice fly.

San Francisco starter Kevin Rogers, who held the Dodgers without a hit until the fourth inning, allowed six hits in seven innings with four strikeouts and a walk.

The Dodgers tied it, 1-1, in the fifth inning on Mitch Webster’s sixth homer.
