The Red Sox pulled out a closely fought 3-2 victory over the surging Nationals on Wednesday evening. The win takes the Red Sox to 12-5 on the season (5-2 in the second half). The victory also brings the Red Sox record to 3-0 in games decided by 1 point. The Nationals go to 4-15 on the season (3-6 in the second half).
Lawrence Gilliam (3-0, 5.4 ERA) started off on the mound to throw 3 2/3 solid innings allowing 2 runs (1 earned). He also gloved a hard hit one hopper and threw to first for an out. The Nationals started Jordan who also had a strong outing. The Red Sox defense was tight all the way through. They turned a double play when Tristan Williams (.345 BA, .596 OBP) caught a pop fly at SS and threw to Jonathan Phelps (.528 BA, .630 OBP) at first for the out when the runner didn't tag up. Grant Craddolph (.486 BA, .673 OBP) hit a long high shot to left center for a stand up triple; continuing home to score on a over throw to third. Tristan and Jonathan both scored after getting on with base hits and advancing to home on stolen bases. Jonathan played a great game at first fielding two ground balls hit to first for a couple of outs and also catching throws to first for a few more outs. Kyle Reece (.286 BA, .540 OBP) scooped up a hard hit ground ball in center field and quickly made a throw to Tristan who tagged the runner out at second. Tristan relieved Lawrence with 2 outs in the 4th and pitched a scoreless 1 1/3 innings to record his second save of the year.
Special thanks to Marie and Greg for handling the score book. Coach Lawrence will transcribe the scorebook into the stats applications and update the website on Thursday.
