2007 ALCS Game 5 - Back to Boston

Whaddaya know...good pitching in the playoffs wins you games. Josh Beckett was again superb, pitching 8 solid innings (a hint that he WON'T be starting a possible game 7), giving up one earned run on 5 hits while striking out 11 and walking 1 (his forst of the postseason). CC Sabathia, on the other hand, gave up 4 earned runs on 10 hits through 6, a better outing than game 1 but still not enough.

So now it comes down to tonight's game, with the Sox once again playing an elimination game. It'll be Carmona vs. Schilling, a rematch of game 2.

Let's hope tonight has a different outcome.
