Win Streak Reaches 9


The Red Sox racked up eight extra base hits on the way to demoralizing the 2nd place A's 15-3 in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader. The Sox offense racked up 19 hits (8 for extra bases) while scoring a run in every inning except the 2nd. Starting pitcher Eric Guise settled down after a 3-run first inning and held the A's scoreless for the remainder of the game on the way to his fourth complete game of the season.

The Sox kept the momentum going the second game by shutting out the A's 6-0. The Sox pitching staff took advantage of solid defense and kept the A's scoreless for 13 straight innings after the first inning of the first game. Matt Altomare pitched his second consecutive shutout to improve to 4-1 on the season.

Click here for updated stats. Stat of the week: Red Sox sluggers Eric Guise and Jason Williams are #1 and #2 in the GPMABL in slugging percentage.

With a nine game winning streak, the Red Sox improved to 15-2 and stretched their lead to 3 games over the second place A's.

The league takes a break for the Fourth of July Holiday and will return to play the following week. The Red Sox return home on July 11 to host the Comets at Latshaw McCarthy at 10am.
