The Red Sox pounded out 15 hits and
Lyle Overbay,
Ronald Bermudez,
Blake Swihart and
Mauro Gomez had two RBIs each as
Boston spanked Tampa, 9-2 on Saturday. But the real fireworks came when
'Punch-O-Cini' Alfredo Aceves almost caused another brawl by plunking
Sean Rodriguez. Aceves claimed it was a mistake, but kept jawing with Rodriguez as he reached first. The benches cleared and Aceves and Rodriguez had to be separated, but, in the end it made no difference. Aceves got his second win of the Spring. Also of note is the fact that
Jose Iglesias went 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored.
