Pulling up

We don't know how Friedel de Wet will turn out, his chances don't look very good but we will know more by Monday," Procter said, and added de Wet's injury seriously hampered South Africa in Cape Town. "A crucial moment in the game was the injury to Friedel which he picked up in the first spell he bowled. That held us back a bit."
Parnell's recall also seemingly ends Makhaya Ntini's Test career after he was dropped for the third Test although Procter wouldn't be quite so final. "The door is never shut on anyone," he said. "If he comes back and performs well of course he can get back, but the chances are not great because he hasn't done very well domestically."
Despite pulling up one wicket short of victory for the second time in the series, Procter was buoyed by the team's improvement following the innings-and-98-run hammering in Durban.

Could you please explain to me what "pull up" means in this context?
