Late Rally by Red Sox Secures 4-2 Win
The Boston (Rk+) Red Sox topped the Bluefield Blue Jays, 4-2, in Appalachian League action at Bowen Field. The standout performance belonged to Boston (Rk+) pitcher and Acushnet, Massachusetts, native Vance Bentz. The win went to Alfonso Tijerina in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Alex Cordova took the loss. The win gives Boston (Rk+) a record of 6-6.

Jeremy Hidalgo came through with a big-time hit for Boston (Rk+). The second baseman smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 4-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"It was a team effort and I thought the guys had a good plan and approach," said Hidalgo after the game.
