The Game-Winning 'Bogie Bloop' |
Andover High School's
Ryan Hanigan tied the game with his first HR in
Carmine Hose,
Xander Bogaerts won it with a flair RBI in the 9th and
the Red Sox took game one of nineteen from the O's, 3-2.
Joe Kelly pitched mediocre enough to win, but
Koji Uehara came away with the "W" after a scoreless top of the ninth. The game was interrupted in the fourth when Oriole starter
Ubaldo Jimenez (who had been pitching a no-hitter) was ejected for throwing at the head of
Pablo Sandoval (who was hit in the shoulder). The 9th inning
'Bogie Bloop' plated
Mike Napoli who gauged the flight of the ball perfectly on his scamper home. Napoli had gotten to second on a perfect sacrifice bunt by
Daniel Nava. All in all, a very sweet win against a tough division rival.
