Dustin Ackley had to make a picture-perfect grab Thursday to save the New York Yankees against the Baltimore Orioles in the bottom of the ninth.

Yet, with one out and a runner on first, that's exactly what he did. To add to the the Orioles' misery, he doubled up on an unaware Joey Rickard at first base to end the inning and send it into extras, after a lengthy review.

The Orioles would have the last laugh, though, winning 1-0 on a walk-off thanks to Pedro Alvarez's sacrifice fly in the 10th.
