ORIOLES go into BRONX ZOO in a Must-Win Situation and get a HUGE W behind former BREW CREW Top Prospect JJ Hardy...as the PRESSURE COOKER points to GAME 5 in the ZOO Later Today...A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report OCTOBER Edition 15

Both Starters Saunders for the O's and Hughes for the Bronx Bombers pitched well enough to win this one. And it was Orioles SS JJ Hardy's (pictured) Turn to get the Key Hit in Extras as the O's send the ALDS to a Game 5 later Today in the Bronx Zoo.

A combined 15 Hits over 13 Innings, 23 K's, 45 Ducks on a All of a Sudden Crowded Pond, and Each Pen went to an 8-Man Rotation. The O's had to get this One as there was No Tomorrow and they did.

The Top half of the 13th with a Man on 3rd O's SS JJ Hardy doubles off the Bottom of the Fence in Left to chase Manny Machado across the Dish. Then it was Old Reliable O's Closer Jim Johnson with an uneventful bottom Half of the 13th to get the Save.

The O's showed a lot of Heart, Character, and Bravado to get beat the way they did on Wednesday Night and to be in Gotham City in the Hotel All Day Today to play a Game like they did tonight speaks Volumes. The Yankees will try on Friday Afternoon to close out the O's or Vice Versa.
