The first split squad spring training games against helpless college kids in Fort Myers. This is where heroes are born, where stories of legend are written. This is what days and days of casually hitting BP and going to the weight room have all been for.
Goosebumps.
The RedSox were locked up in a tight one with Boston College today on the diamond, and time was running out. With the RedSox coming up to bat, the team exploded for 8 runs to break a 0-0 tie in the 2nd inning, just in the nick of time.
The RedSox would limp to the finish line and just get past the Eagles after tacking on a few critical insurance runs and winning 24-0.
Things weren't looking good when the Eagles made the MLB underdogs pay in the 5th inning with a hit off reliever Javy Lopez. Thankfully, the team manned up and slammed the door shut, limiting the vicious offense 1 total base in the game off the single.
The RedSox showed good plate discipline facing a BC pitching staff infamous for their mastery of the strike zone, amassing 15 walks.
"This was a great and fun experience. Surely I won't spend tonight crying in the shower due to something that has scarred me for life" Eagles pitcher Steven Cadoret said after the game. Cadoret pitched two thirds of an inning, giving up eight runs (6 ER) off five hits and five walks. He posted a modest ERA of 81.00 for the performance.
"Wow, that guy sucks." former RedSox pitcher Eric Gagne said of the stat line.
Another group of RedSox players will take on Northeastern in a few hours.
"I think we have a good shot" Northeastern left fielder Phay Kname said optomistically.
