Yankees Win to Tie Series with Ambassadors
The New York Yankees and the Pittsburgh Ambassadors will take the Eliminator Round to a decisive 5th game. In a must-win situation today, the Yankees beat the Ambassadors 6-3 at Allegheny Park to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. New York right-hander Yu Darvish had a big role in the win. He threw 6 innings of 5-hit ball.

New York relied on the hitting of Tony Clark to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Yankees on top, 3-1. For the game, Clark had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Yu was able to execute his pitches," said New York manager Chris Patricola. "Simple as that."

The next game is scheduled for tomorrow at Allegheny Park in Pittsburgh. The scheduled starters for the game are Johnny Cueto for the New York Yankees and Bobby Shantz for the the Pittsburgh Ambassadors.
