___ out a victory (win narrowly) (3)

I believe the answer is:

eke

(Other definitions for eke that I've seen before include "addition to Scots" , "To -- something out is to make it go further" , "Make a laborious living" , "Stretch (out); in addition (archaic)" , "To -- out is to add to" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
