This last Spring Training meeting of the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals took place in the City of Palms Park in Fort Myers. There were plenty of hits in the game including one homerun by the Cardinals (David Freese in the top of the third) and two homeruns by the Red Sox (a two-run homerun by Jason Varitek in the bottom of the sixth and a three-run homer by Chip Ambres in the bottom of the tenth to win the game). This was Boston's ninth win in the last ten games and they seem to becoming into their usual regular season form at the stretch of the preseason.
