For the first time this season, the Pirates displayed confidence in their victory over the Red Sox. Even though they got down early in the game, their resilience and determination helped them pull out a close game in the end. The difference for the Pirates in this game was their aggressiveness and discipline at the plate coupled with minimal errors in the field. Every Pirates player reached base safely at least once. This allowed us to advance runners on the base path and ultimately score our highest run total this season (10). In the field, the Pirates were ready for everything the Red Sox threw at them. Several outs were recorded in the field and relieved the burden on our pitchers. It must also be noted that Brandon Chatman and Ryan "Row" Wimsatt pitched an outstanding game and were instrumental in helping us put the Red Sox away. Other notable highlights were multiple put outs by Matthew Hamilton at shortstop; aggressive play by our catcher Ryan Mitchell; a 2 RBI double by Justin Leone; and gutsy baserunning by Jack Lockhart. All in all, it was a team effort that decided the game.
Final Score: Pirates 10, Red Sox 9
