Red Sox Repeat Falls Short

After weeks of rainouts and re-scheduled games, the Red Sox finally took the field for their semi-final playoff matchup against the Colt 45's. To make up for lost time, the best-of-three series was shortened to one game this past Sunday at Hartford Crossing Field. The Colt 45's sent 2011 GPMABL Cy Young Award winner Ian Downes to the mound, while the Sox countered with the 2010 Cy Young, Eric Guise.

The Red Sox could only muster two unearned runs against the Colt's ace, and lost 6-2.  Although the quest for a repeat championship came to an abrupt end, the Red Sox still enjoyed a visit from their #1 fan, Aidan Peterson.  Aidan is the son of former Red Sox teammate Don Peterson who passed away four years ago.  Thanks Aidan's mother, Amy, for the picture!

No Hits? No Problem.


In the first round of the playoffs, the Red Sox squared off against the Muckdogs. The Sox won the season series 3-1, but the Muckdogs wouldn't go down without a fight.

Although the Sox did not register a hit, they small-balled their way to three runs by way of walks, errors and stolen bases.

Bret Binder took the mound for the Sox, and has been looking more and more like his pre-surgery self. He pitched a solid 6 innings, while working out of several bases-loaded jams with the help of his defense. Joe Gorman finished off the 7th to earn the save.

Shout out to teammate Fred Kerner for the pictures. He took a bunch, and here's the rest of the album.

The skies opened up after the game, and rained out the subsequent matchups. Because of the rain, the revised playoff schedule has the Sox playing one game on Sunday, at 12:30pm, against the winner of the Colt 45's and Outlaws. It will be a best-of-three series, with Game 2 and 3 (if necessary) played the follow Sunday, on August 21st.

This Sunday's game will be at Plymouth Meeting.

Red Sox Split Third Doubleheader in a Row

Game 1 featured a classic pitcher's duel as the co-1st place Colt 45's featured veteran Ian Downes on the mound versus the Sox ace, Eric Guise. Although the Red Sox only managed four hits, they made them count. Bryan Withrow singled in the 4th inning, then stole second, third and then home to put the first run on the board for the Sox. Bill Johnson's single in the top of the 7th inning broke up the 1-1 tie, scoring Guise from 2nd. Despite some shaky defense in the bottom half of the inning, Guise closed out the Colt 45's and picked up the W as the Sox prevailed 2-1.

The Red Sox couldn't find any answers at the plate or in field in Game 2, as the Colt 45's bounced back to earn the split.

Here are the updated stats.

The Colt 45's continue to share 1st place in the Penn Division with the Red Sox.
