[Fishercat]

Well, Dinardo allowed one run in the first, Tek responds with a grand slam.

[Fishercat]

Heh, supposedly Dinardo walked four in a row.

[A'sDiehard]

Great; I bench Veritek and he hits a grand slam.

[Fishercat]

Sox just broke that one open. A Trot double made a 4-2 game 6-2, they walk Tek to get to Lowell (hoping for a DP), and then he doubles to make it 8-2. (Lowell has 17 doubles so far in 31 games).
