As we all know, everything—and I mean
everything—ultimately has a New England connection. And so it was tonight at Fenway, when Providence, Rhode Island's
Chris Iannetta stroked an RBI Wall-Ball double off
Koji Uehara,
giving his Halos a 4-3 victory over
The Carmine Hose. Koji got the first two outs in the 9th, but
Brennan Boesch (not to be confused with
Hieronymus Bosch) roped a shot out of the reach of
Mookie "JBJ Would Have Had It" Betts. Boston had fought back from a 3-1 deficit on RBIs by
Mike Napoli and
Brock Holt (who earlier was robbed of a three-run HR at the bullpen wall in right). Napoli ended the game with a strikeout as both
Yoenis Cespedes and
David Ortiz were stranded on base. After a tough third inning (three runs), starter
Allen Webster rebounded to go six full innings—yielding no more tallies. Last year, they win this game—in 2014, it's just another agonizing loss.
