Red Sox Resilient in 7-3 Win Over Lehigh Valley
Led by Mal Bickerton, the Pawtucket Red Sox downed the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, 7-3. Bickerton was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Red Sox. The Red Sox improved their record to 44-48 with the win over Lehigh Valley.

The decisive blow was delivered by Doug Watkins in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a grand slam home run off 26-year old right-handed pitcher Ron Boyer to win the game for Pawtucket. The home crowd went nuts.

"This wasn't a good win," said Bickerton. "It was a great win."
