Great Walk-Off Win

Varitek - single. Saltie inserted as pinch-runner. Reddick bloops a single to right. Saltie takes 2nd. Ells singles sharply to center. Saltie turns 3rd & comes home with a head-first slide, arms outstretched as far as possible, to barely beat the throw home. We win!

It was an exciting end to a well played & well pitched game by both sides. The Sox 3-2 win in the 9th evens up the series with 2 games left. Wakefield pitches tonight & Erik Bedard makes his debut on Thursday.

Josh Beckett made another quality start, but had to leave after 6 innings due to the rain delay which had him warm-up twice before the start. Franklin Morales was strong for 2 innings & Pap blew his 3 batters away in the 9th.

This was just a good win.

I was at the game last night. It was a nice reminder to me that watching the game on TV is nothing like "experiencing" the game at Fenway Park.
