Red Sox Win Game 5

Last night the Red Sox demonstrated the second biggest post-season comeback since 1929 at home at Fenway Park. Down by seven in the seventh inning, the Sox rallied big time to bring the final score against the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 of the ALCS to 8-7. The last innings of the game were filled with cheers from Sox fans and from the looks of it, Fenway was insane. The winning run was scored by J.D. Drew with two outs in the ninth. Up until then the score was an even 7-7 and fans thought the game would go into extra innings. A glimpse of hope was caught when Dustin Pedroia hit an RBI single. David Oritz followed hitting a three run homer against Tampa Bay's pitcher Grant Balfour. Drew hit a two run homer and the eighth and Coco Crisp proceeded to tie things up with a two-out RBI single. The ninth inning was obviously a nail biter. Kevin Youkilis hit a ground ball to TB third baseman Evan Longoria who threw it to first baseman Carlos Pena who almost caught it but it bounced off his glove to give Youkilis a chance to run to second. TB intentionally walked the next batter for the Sox, Jason Bay. The next batter, Drew, ended it all giving Youkilis a chance to run home and the Sox a fighting chance for the World Series against the Phillies on Wednesday. All of Boston will be crossing their fingers while tuning into Saturday night's game 6 scheduled to start at 8:07 in Tampa.
