Red Sox shake off the rust and hand the previously unbeaten Yankees their first loss of the season. The seven day layoff showed in the lack of offense as the Sox could only manage to plate six runs to the Yanks two. The pitchers kept the team in the game until the bats could get going. Lilly got the start and threw three solid innings allowing just one run on two hits. Jonah came on in relief and over powered the Yankee batters, allowing just a harmless run in the seventh frame to close out the first real test of the year. The Red Sox batters could only muster six hits with Jonah being the lone player to collect more than one. That's not to say the kids didn't have some clutch at-bats as Lilly tied the game in the first when she drove in Dalton with a hard ground ball out to the second basemen. David gave the Sox their first lead of the game in the third with an RBI groundout. The game stayed at 2-1 until the kids put up a four run fifth. Leading the way with a two run triple was Simon, followed by an RBI single by Isaiah L. Eddie was next to bat and crushed the ball for a three bagger of his own, scoring Isaiah. The defense continued their stellar play with Owen making two spectacular plays, first by starting a 3-6 double play in the fourth and then robbing a Yankee batter of a hit with a great catch in the seventh.
Next up for the Sox is another tough team as we face the 3-1 Brewers Saturday morning at 10:45. Wilson 4.
