Dominant Second Inning Sets the Tone!
What a night for the Boston Red Sox!
After a scoreless first inning, the boys erupted in the bottom of the 2nd inning. With Enmanuel Valdez doubling to center and then Reese McGuire driving him home with a double to right, things got rolling. Dominic Smith followed suit with a single, scoring McGuire. The offensive onslaught continued with Ceddanne Rafaela and Jarren Duran both doubling to push the score to 4-0. It was an incredible showcase of hitting and hustle. 
Phillies Fight Back, But O'Neill Shines
The Phillies tried to claw their way back in the 4th inning, with Kyle Schwarber doubling to bring them within one run. But our boys didn't back down. In the bottom of the 4th, David Hamilton singled to bring in Duran, and Tyler O'Neill crushed a 430-foot homer to left center, scoring two more. The crowd went wild as the score jumped to 8-3 in our favor.
Pitching Locked It Down!
Our pitchers kept it tight. After the Phillies closed the gap, the Red Sox pitchers did not allow another run. Standout performances included Keller, who relieved Houck and stopped any further damage, sealing the game in the late innings. Schwarber walked in the 9th, but Nick Castellanos struck out swinging to end the game.
Final Thoughts
The final score of 9-3 in favor of the Red Sox was a testament to our team's resilience and firepower at the plate. Jarren Duran, Tyler O'Neill, and Ceddanne Rafaela had excellent games, with Devers and Valdez adding crucial hits. This win was a true team effort and a joy to watch for every Red Sox fan! Let's keep this momentum going!
