J.D. Martinez running down David Freese's one-out drive to right misses sight of the ball and it's off the wall for a one-out triple, bottom of the third . . .

EasyAce · « **Reply #8 on:** October 29, 2018, 01:19:10 am »

A grounder to shortstop, a pop foul fly to right near the stands, and Freese's triple goes for naught.

2-1, Red Sox after three full . . .

Three and three for the Dodgers in their half of the fourth . . . still 2-1, Red Sox, going to the fifth . . .

High fly, deep left, up into the bleachers for Mookie Betts and it's 3-1, Red Sox, top of the sixth!

Red Sox just seem too good, the Dodgers have made a valiant effort, didn't lose last night until late but Boston just looks like one of those teams... still quite a bit of the game left.

EasyAce · « **Reply #14 on:** October 29, 2018, 02:07:11 am »

Three and three for the Dodgers and we go to the seventh with the Red Sox leading, 3-1, thanks to . . .

. . . and this one is gonnnnnnnnnnnne, goodbye! J.D. Martinez leads off the top of the seventh with a rip over the center field fence. 4-1, Red Sox . . .

EasyAce · « **Reply #16 on:** October 29, 2018, 02:21:36 am »

The Red Sox get another pair of runners but can't cash them in, they let Price bat for himself to end the inning so the Red Sox think Price can give them three more outs . . .

But thanks to Martinez's leadoff bomb the Red Sox are up, 4-1, at the seventh inning stretch . . . .

EasyAce · « **Reply #17 on:** October 29, 2018, 02:29:40 am »

Three and three for David Price again, and he may have pitched himself into the World Series MVP conversation with tonight's performance . . . 4-1, Red Sox after seven . . .

EasyAce · « **Reply #18 on:** October 29, 2018, 02:37:42 am »

High fly, deep left, THIS one is gonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne, goodbye! Steve Pearce has hit his third home run in 24 hours and second of the game, it is 5-1, Red Sox, top of the eighth . . . .and . . . you guessed it! He hit it with two outs!

David Price is going out to pitch the bottom of the eighth . . . with the Red Sox six defensive outs from the Promised Land . . .

EasyAce · « **Reply #20 on:** October 29, 2018, 03:02:01 am »

Price surrendered a leadoff walk . . . Joe Kelly came in to relieve him . . . and struck out the side!

5-1, Red Sox, we go to the ninth . . .

Dodgers won the battle, Friday night but lost the war. This sure was a lot of baseball in a short, short time frame. We will see. Congrats to who wins this.

EasyAce · « **Reply #22 on:** October 29, 2018, 03:09:24 am »

A double play and a ground out to first, Red Sox are out in the ninth, the Dodgers are down to their final three outs, and Manny Machado could be the potential Series-ending out due to bat third . . . and who will the Red Sox bring in to pitch the ninth?

5-1 Red Sox, three outs from returning to the Promised Land . . .

EasyAce · « **Reply #23 on:** October 29, 2018, 03:19:05 am »

Chris Sale strikes out Johnny Hustle to strike out the side and for the fourth time in the 21st Century the Boston Red Sox are world champions!!!!!

5-1 your final from Dodger Stadium!
