Steve Pearce cannot be stopped.
The former South Carolina Gamecock standout blew up Saturday night in Game 4 of the World Series for the Boston Red Sox, driving in four crucial runs in a win to push his team to a 3-1 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers, one game from a world championship.
In his very first at-bat Sunday, Pearce picked up where he left off, blasting a home run out of Dodger Stadium to give the Red Sox a quick 2-0 lead, and he did so against Clayton Kershaw, one of the best pitchers in baseball.
