Adam LaRoche says he was ''trying not to pass out'' during his unusual five-RBI game in the Washington Nationals' 14-inning win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. LaRoche spoke Friday for the first time about Wednesday's 8-5 marathon, which he entered as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning and somehow persevered through a trio of maladies - back, elbow and flu - to lift the Nationals to one of their most inspirational victories of the season. Just no energy.'' But manager Matt Williams needed a pinch-hitter in the ninth, so LaRoche suited up, borrowed one of teammate Jayson Werth's bats and came through with a game-tying, two-run homer. The Nationals went on to take the lead in the inning, but Werth's error in the bottom of the ninth helped send the game to extras.
