Red Sox Eclipse Eagles, 6 to 1

BOSTON COLLEGE: 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 1 3 3

BOSTON: 1 0 1 3 0 1 x - 6 7 0

Second game of a split squad doubleheader in City of Palms Park and the Boston Red Sox once again have a win, though not as overwhelming a victory as the first game. The Boston College Eagles did manage to score one run (just like last year - see post dated Wednesday February 25, 2009), while the Red Sox scored six of them. Boston was also quieter in the hits department and no homeruns this evening. But it's a win and more prospects were on display. Tomorrow's game will be an official Spring Training one and will be included in the Grapefruit League standings. Wonderful day for the Red Sox and may the whole pre-season remain as wonderful.
