SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Oracle Team USA beat Emirates Team New Zealand twice Tuesday, extending a stirring rally that has forced a decisive final race for the America's Cup.
The Americans, who have been one loss away from elimination since last week when they trailed 8-1 -- reeled off a sixth straight victory in Tuesday's Race 17, and then followed it up with a come-from-behind win in Race 18.
