Sox rock the Orioles

After trailing the Orioles 2-0 early, the home standing Red Sox rallied for 16 unanswered runs, highlighted by an 8-run 5th inning. Mike Craig pitched six strong innings and drove in two runs. Gary Dubas led the Sox attack with 2 hits and 4 RBI. Bill Miller strengthened his comeback-player-of-the-year bid with two more hits and two RBI. Matt LaBuda picked up where he left off last season with two hits, including a ringing double in the second frame.

Other Game Notes:
  • Lance Strous was criticized by team skipper David Strock for "swinging half-assed."
  • Jerry McKeon guaranteed a bunt for a hit in the 4th inning. It was really quite a prediction considering he was called safe even though he was out by at least half a step.
  • Off season optometrist visits continued to pay off for Kirk Strous and Joe Rogers. The pair have tallied a total of 6 free passes on the season.
  • John Lindholm played CF next to Keith Humes in RF.
