Red Sox brush off sluggish start to beat the Giants 7-2 at Ball Park 3 on Wednesday night. After giving up two runs, (one earned) on two hits and an error in the first inning, Lilly regrouped and shut down the Giants the next two frames. It was lucky for the Sox that the pitching tightened up because the kids in red and blue wouldn't collect their first hit until the bottom of the fourth inning. Anthony delivered not only the Sox first hit but he provided the spark that finally ignited his teammates. Our kids would score their first run in the fourth and take the lead in the fifth on Simon's two run single. Red Sox sluggers would tac on four insurance runs in the sixth with Dalton driving in Anthony and Jonah with a big triple to left center. Lilly and Jonah added run scoring singles of their own in the sixth. The four insurance runs would not be needed though as the Red Sox pitchers did not allow another hit after the first inning. Jonah pitched a great fourth through sixth and Owen struck out the only three batters he faced to close out the game.
Next up for the Red Sox are the surging Cardinals at 5:30 on Wed, June 17 Wilson 2.
