Game Story: PawSox score early and often in 10-4 win over Chiefs »
May 25, 2007
PAWTUCKET _ They played nine innings, but the Pawtucket Red Sox needed only two.
The PawSox scored eight runs on nine hits in the first inning, and two runs on two hits in the second inning off Syracuse Chiefs starter Josh Banks en route to a 10-4 victory last night at McCoy Stadium.
In the bottom of the first, the PawSox batted around as Pawtucket’s No. 1 and No. 2 hitters – Jacoby Ellsbury and Joe McEwing – combined for 4 hits, 3 RBI and 3 runs scored. The PawSox also collected five doubles in the first inning.
After the Chiefs scored two in the top of the second curiosity of a two-run blast by Chiefs’ Erik Kratz, Pawtucket added two more in the bottom half as Jeff Bailey and Brandon Moss hit back-to-back solo home runs to right field, the first time this season the PawSox hit consecutive roundtrippers.
On the mound, the PawSox’ Kason Gabbard earned the win after working 5 1/3 innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits with five strikeouts.
