Wow! That felt like an old school Red Sox vs. Yankees game!
For over three hours, the two teams exchanged blows before a packed house amid an electric atmosphere at Fenway. The excitement peaked in the bottom of the eighth inning when the Sox carved out the final three runs of the seesaw slugfest.
Rob Refsnyder started the inning with a single, his third hit of the night, and then Connor Wong followed that up with a ballsy (four of them to be exact) walk on nine pitches.
This set the stage for Wilyer Abreu, who pinch hit for Tyler O’Neill to get the platoon advantage.
