Vikings Clip Aquas, 7-6, in DS Contest
The Minneapolis Vikings got a strong game from starter Jose Ortiz, but it was some clutch hitting that ultimately delivered the win.

The Vikings took the 7-6 win over the Houston Aquas in Game 4 of the Divisional Series in a 12th inning walk-off. The win capped off a fine outing for the left-handed Ortiz. Ortiz threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball in the win, which brought the Vikings into a 2-2 tie in the best-of-7 series.

In the bottom of the 12th, Dante Cuadra knew he could end it with one good swing of the bat. And he did, hitting a run-scoring single off Houston pitcher Danny Mathews.

"We're one game closer to our goal," Minneapolis manager Ace Cooan said later. "It isn't any more complicated than that."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Tesoro Stadium in Houston.
