clincher #2
勝負は明日になっちゃいました（MLB側はホクホク顔でしょう）。見出しのat clincherは「ここ一番というときに」あたりがいいのでしょうか。なお，Jeeterがat batのときにファンが"Captain Clincher"というプラカードを掲げていたのが印象的でした。（UG）

Yankees Swing and Miss at Clincher, Forcing Game 5

They demonstrated that quality again Thursday night — and early Friday morning — as Game 4 stretched deep into extra innings, where one mistake, one unlucky bounce, could end their season. But the steady, young Orioles, who endured the staggering one-two combo of Raul Ibanez’s home runs in Game 3, avoided elimination and beat the Yankees, 2-1, in 13 innings at Yankee Stadium.
