Best Game of Year


Strat-O-Matic Report






A tale of 2 closers-as in real life Donnie Moore can't get that last out ever and Keith Foulke seems to find a way to escape even when he doesn't. Sox edge closer to 1rst place tie and Angels continue to flounder. Rooster has a day though replacing the woeful hitting Wilfong at 2b. This is the type of game that reflects the auroa of Strat.

Manny Ramirez went yard at Fenway Park as the Boston Red Sox came back
dramatically to top the California Angels by the score of 7 to 6.

Boston had the game winning rally in the bottom of the 9th inning with 2 runs
using 2 hits. After two outs Kevin Youkilis was the sparkplug when he banged
out a single. Doug Mirabelli came next and he cleared the fences for a
two-run home run (his 2nd of the season) resulting in an exciting win for
Boston and a wild post-game celebration by the home town fans. The game was
a wild affair with the lead changing hands 5 times.

Keith Foulke(1-2) got credit for the victory, pitching 1 inning and allowing 3
runs. Donnie Moore(1-4) was the loser in relief. He pitched 1/3 of an inning
and surrendered 2 hits and no walks.
