Yahoo! News - Red Sox Beat Yanks to Force ALCS Game 7
NEW YORK - Pitching on a dislocated ankle tendon that forced him out of the opener, Curt Schilling smothered the New York Yankees by allowing one run over seven innings to lead the Red Sox to a 4-2 victory Tuesday night and pull Boston into a 3-3 tie in an AL championship series that was three outs from a sweep just two days earlier.

Schilling willed away the pain in his bloody right ankle and the Red Sox got the benefit of two reversed calls to move within one win of the most shocking comeback in baseball postseason history.

"This is incredible," Schilling said.

Yes, it is. I take back my comments from earlier about this series being a "disappointment". Hot damn, go get 'em Sox!
