After a bit of a lull,
Mookie Betts is
back. Tonight, he capped
a thrilling 6-5 Red Sox comeback in the 9th inning with a line single to left. It was Betts' third hit of the night.
Xander Bogaerts started the 9th inning rally with a one-out single. Andover High's
Ryan Hanigan followed with a bullet single to center. After a wild pitch moved runners up, Betts reached down to poke a single through the drawn-in infield.
Joe Kelly had another disappointing start—going six innings and yielding five earned runs (and yet he tantalizingly struck out
ten).
Pablo Sandoval was injured making a dive in the infield—but he homered before leaving the game.
Koji Uehara got off the 'schnide' by delivering a clean top of the night to get the win. All in all, a good and
needed win.
