Red Sox Topple Orioles with Late Rally
The Boston (GCL) Red Sox beat the Baltimore (GCL) Orioles, 6-4, at Ed Smith Stadium. Rob Barber, in particular, was impressive. He went 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. The winner in relief was Nelson Cruz. He is now 4-2. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 3 innings. Bob Stewart earned the save, his 1st.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Jed Knox? The 22-year old center fielder Knox stroked a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning to put Boston (GCL) up, 6-4. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

Boston (GCL) manager Kenny Holmberg praised his team's "energy."
