Game 5 determines their fates
Yanks outlast the O's
(A Haggy Haiku)
Tied at two after four American League Division Series games and at 11 after 22 season-long matchups, C.C. Sabathia delivered the decisive blow to Baltimore for New York.
The Orioles once again fell one game short of the Bombers just as they did during the regular season.
Pitching a one-run complete game, Sabathia lifted his team to a 3-1 win Friday against a scrappy, small-time Baltimore squad that went down only when baseball's rules said it had to; there are no more at-bats, no more innings to play for a divisional series Game 5 loser.
Raul Ibanez, Ichiro and Curtis Granderson provided the offense for New York's workhorse starter, who struck out nine in raising his postseason record with baseball's most storied franchise to 7-1.
