Borchard (cbbbs) walked.
Olivo (cffb) struck out swinging.
Gall (xx) hit ground rule double to right center, Borchard to third.
Seabol (fcffb) struck out looking.
Reed bunt popped up to first.
3rd:
Ramirez (bbcbf) lined out to Matsuzaka (who bowed towards Hanley after gloving it!).
Uggla (f) flied out to shallow left.
Hermida (cb) popped out to second.
47 pitches, 31 pitches. Box.

any media clippings on his performance like lester's below?
ReplyDeleteWhew! 5 runs so far in the top of the 10th for the Sox! They've batted around and have one out and the bases loaded at the moment.
ReplyDeleteIt's 14-6 now. I'm thinking the Sox might win today.
ReplyDeleteI know what "b", "f", and "s" mean, but what does "c" stand for?
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna say "called strike." I like "l" for looking, but that might look like a one.

I have a couple more (T is the catcher's throw to a base after a pitch), but those are the main ones.
