This game had several different twists. First both Teams could not score or hit early. In the 3rd we scored 4 runs on 3 singles and 3 errors by the Red Sox. Our defense was playing well thanks to nice plays from Ian in LF and Wayne especially when he threw a ball behind the runner at first to get him in a pickle that ended on a good throw from Rob to John at 2nd for the out. Paul & Stephen made a couple of good plays at 3rd, John played his solid game at SS, while Shawn made a couple of nice plays at 2nd and Rob picked a throw at 1st and stretched for another out. While the defense played very strong, Todd was pitching great as he would keep the Red Sox scoreless until 7th they scored a run and ended the game with 2 more in the 9th.

As the pitching and defense did their part, our offense clicked in the 5th for 2 runs as Stephen started the inning with a hustling 2B and scored on a 1B to LCF. Then an error gave us our 2nd run of the inning. In the 6th Shawn hit a 1B, Brady had a 2B, followed with a nice sharp 1B by McDevitt that scored 2 more runs.. Todd scored the 3rd run on a sharp 1B to LF to put us ahead 9 - 0 after 6 innings. We continued scoring runs with 1 in the 7th on a RBI 1B by Paul, then 3 runs in the 8th thanks to key RBI 1B's from McDevitt & Todd. We ended the game with 4 more runs in the 9th on 5 hits one for 2 runs on a pinch hit 1B from Coach. John, Ian & Mike G knocked in the other 3 on RBI 1B's that gave us a 17 - 3 win over the Red Sox.

DEFENSIVE WEB GEMS: Ian diving grab in LF, Brady one in LCF, Paul & Stephen 2 good plays at 3rd and Wayne with a heads up throw behind the runner at 1st for an out as the runner was nailed in the pickle at 2nd on a nice throw from Rob.

OFFENSIVE HIGHLIGHTS: Shawn 3 hits & 3 R's, Wayne 3 hits & 4 R's, McDevitt 2 hits for 3 RBI's & 2 R's. Rob, Mike G & Todd all collected 2 hits each. John, Ian, Paul, Brady, Stephen, Jay & Coach also contributed with a hit.
