LSC Recap:
Tampa Bay Rays v. Boston Red Sox
Dustin Pedroia rocketed a homer off of Matt Garza in the first inning, but that was all of the offense the Red Sox could provide as Garza dazzled over seven innings and David Price picked up his first career save in the Rays 3-1 victory. Evan Longoria tied the game at one a piece with a double that scored Carlos Pena, followed an inning later by a Rocco Baldelli single which brought home Willy Aybar and gave the Rays their first lead of the game. Aybar added an insurance run in the seventh with a solo shot and the Rays bullpen did the rest, sending Tampa Bay to their franchise first World Series appearance. I can hear Dick Vitale now, “It’s awesome baby with a capital A.”
