Bumble, Red Sox Sink Pirates Again in Game 2
The Boston (GCL) Red Sox moved to within one game of the Round 2 today, downing the visiting Pittsburgh (GCL) Pirates at JetBlue Park by a score of 11-6. Red Sox second baseman Ron Bumble did some major damage. He was 1-4 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. The win gives the Red Sox a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-5 Round 1.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Beau Burgess came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Pittsburgh (GCL) pitcher Edgar Manuel, he hit a first pitch changeup for a 2-run double. It was a game-changer, putting Boston (GCL) on top, 8-6.

"We have been clicking right from the start of this series, so our mission statement at the moment is just don't tinker with anything," Boston (GCL) manager Henry Cotto told reporters.

Game 3 is scheduled for Friday at Pirate City Complex.
