The pinging sound of Al, Sc, and C (consult your periodic table) returned to Red Sox land on Sunday afternoon as the team collected 9 hits in their 15-5 win over the Mets. With the win, the Red Sox remain a game behind the Braves who lead the division. The Mets remain a half game out of 3rd place trailing the Dodgers. Tristan Williams (3-0, 7.50 ERA) got the start on the mound for the Red Sox. Veteran pitcher, Elyas, got the start for the Mets.
The Red Sox took an early lead, scoring 5 runs in the first inning. Grant Craddolph, Jonathan Phelps, Desmond Box, Lawrence Gilliam, and Tristan Williams all scored in the first inning. Notable hits included a double to right center field by Desmond to score Jonathan, and an infield single by Tristan to score Lawrence. Evan Lott and Kyle Reece also reached base in the inning as the Red Sox batted around the order.
The Mets got things started in the bottom half of the first with a lead off single by starting short stop, Evan. Red Sox catcher, Grant, hooked up with Lawrence at short stop, to catch Evan attempting to steal second. The Mets were held scoreless in the first.
The Sox struck for 3 more runs in the second inning. Runs were scored by Jonathan, Desmond, and Kyle. Kyle collected an RBI single in the inning.
The Mets rallied for 5 runs in the bottom of the 2nd. Red Sox pitcher, Tristan, battled through control problems on the mound, and the Mets showed patience at the plate – forcing Tristan to throw strikes. The Mets were the benefactors of 5 "free passes" in the inning and 1 HBP. Jordan Strong delivered a solid rip to right center field to score Evan. At the end of 2, the score was Red Sox 8, Mets 5.
The Red Sox scored 5 in the 3rd with a double by Grant, and consecutive singles by Jonathan, Derek Marshall, and Dominic Vasquez. Bailey Goldstein, Grant, Jonathan, Derek and Dominic scored in the inning.
Derek (0-0, 3.0 ERA) relieved Tristan on the mound in the top of the third inning and retired the side on strikes. He only allowed 2 base runners, an RBI single by Elyas and a walk to Christian. Terrance Gant took over left field, relieving Evan in the inning.
The Red Sox added 2 insurance runs in the 4th on a single by Jonathan, a double by Derek, and an RBI by Kyle. To take a 15-5 lead into the bottom of the 4th. Derek was lights out on the mound in the bottom of the 4th, striking out 2 more batters to bring his total for the day to 5.
Game Balls go to the following players:
- Tristan for solid starting pitching.
- Jonathan for scoring 4 runs and solid defense at 1st base.
- Desmond for his double to right center field.
- Kyle for collecting 2 RBIs
