PawSox fall to Richmond, 3-1

After hitting two walk-off homers in one week, George Kottaras found himself at the plate with runners on first and second and two outs in the bottom of the ninth, but was unable to deliver this time, as the Pawtucket Red Sox fell to the Richmond Braves, 3-1, today at McCoy stadium.

Abe Alvarez took the loss, dropping to 4-5 after giving up three hits and one earned run with four strikeouts and four walks over 6 2/3 innings.

Over the course of a week and a half, the Pawtucket Red Sox took three out of four games from Richmond down in Virginia, and then split a four-game series with the Braves here at McCoy.

That’s five out of eight against the top team in the Southern Division and a pitching staff that boasts the best ERA in the entire International League.
