Currently 2-1 Rays, off a Manny double, Wigginton HR, and ??? RBI in the 7th for the Rays

[Fishercat]

Wow, Scott Dunn? I remember having a refractor rookie Bowman Chrome of his.

[Fishercat]

And it's...all...tied...up. A wild pitch by Dunn put Youk on first (walk) and WMP on third, and a linedrive barely over Cantu's head brought WMP in, Youk out at second because he went back to first thinking it would be caught

[Fishercat]

Big Papi spending the cheese, as now the Sox have 2nd/3rd with two outs for Man-Ram

[Fishercat]

Over Branyan's head! 2 run single!

[Providence A's]

yea, now Manny chooses to hit after getting out all season

[Fishercat]

All tied up again after Clement's removal

[Fishercat]

7-4 now for the Sox, off of a Youk double and Loretta single to score some earlier baserunners. Papelbon in

[Fishercat]

And Papelbon is showing chinks in the armor, two on with a lot of pitches, with Gomes up. He's started, he can handle it, but you may not want him to. Gomes is scary

[Fishercat]

The bases are now filled, hooboy.

[Fishercat]

A dangerous, but sick, catch by Adam Stern for the win!
