World Series Champions

On Wednesday, the Red Sox defeated the Cardinals in game six and became World Series Champs! Shane Victorino, who sat out the last two games with back soreness returned to the lineup and got the scoring started for the Red Sox. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the third inning, Shane Victorino smacked a line drive into the left center gap. Jacoby Ellsbury, David Ortiz and Jonny Gomes all came around to score to give the Red Sox an early 3-0 lead. The rest of the scoring came in the fourth inning. Surprisingly, Stephan Drew homered into the Red Sox bullpen. Stephan Drew was easily the Red Sox worst player this postseason as he was hitting .080 entering last nights game. After Drew's homer, Mike Napoli had a bloop hit into center field to score Jacoby Ellsbury. Then Shane Victorino singled to left which allowed David Ortiz to score. Aside from the offense, John Lackey pitch great. Lackey only allowed one run over seven innings pitched. After Junichi Tazawa and Brandon Workman pitched in relief, Koji Uehara did what he always does. Uehara struck out Matt Carpenter to clinch the third World Series title for the Red Sox in the last decade.
