Yahoo! News - Baseball-Red Sox Stay Alive with Epic 14th-Inning Win
BOSTON (Reuters) - David Ortiz drove in three runs, including the game winner in the bottom of the 14th inning, to lead Boston to a rallying 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees which kept the Red Sox's postseason hopes alive Monday.

Ortiz's shot to center field off Esteban Loaiza in the 14th scored Johnny Damon and sent the best-of-seven American League Championship Series back to New York for Game Six Tuesday with the Yankees up 3-2.

At nearly six hours, Game Five was the longest encounter in postseason history.

I guess I'll never see a game all the way through if they keep this up.
