Red Sox split final division games

The Red Sox played their final 2 games of regular season divisional play today against HOF Captain Bob Weinfeld (Pirates) and defending champion Brooke Prim (Brewers).

In game 1, at the Pirates, the Sox started slow again and were trailing 9-1 after 3 scoring only in the 1st on a 2 out run scoring 2B by Impact POW Tim Kaminski. Inning 4 was ignited by a hit from Impact ROW Brian Babbitt, a Kaminski hit, run scoring hit from Brad Parr,  hit from Kyle Casper, run scoring hit from Brad Cox, a SF from Jody Beasley and a 2 run hit from Sean Harcourt.  The Sox narrowed it to 9-8 in the 5th on solo HRs from Babbitt and Kaminski.  Cox tied it in the top of the 6th on a solo HR but the Pirates would score 3 in the home 6th on Brandon Strull's 3 run HR. The Sox would fight in the top of the 7th on a 1 out hit from Darryl Drake, a walk to Greg "Badger" Hurst,  and a 2 out run scoring 2B from Kaminski.  After Parr had an intentional BB to load the bases Cody Strull, in shallow LF, robbed Kyle of a hit in the hole and received a generous call at 3rd for the final out on a force.

Game 2 saw the Brewers score 1 in the top of the 1st on Donald Primm's HR. The Sox would take the lead with 4 runs featuring a lead off 2B by Drake, hit from Badger, an RBI hit from Babbitt and a 3 run HR from Kaminski. Inning 2 featured run scoring hits from Matt Casey, Drake and Badger and a 7-1 lead. Inning 3 had a solo HR by Kaminski for an 8-1 lead. The Sox scored 1 in the 4th for a 9-1 lead on Badger's 2 out run scoring hit.  Inning 5 saw the Sox score 5 led by Kaminski's hit, Cox' RBI hit, Harcourt's run scoring 2B and Casey's 2 run 3B. The Brewers score 2 in the top of the 6th on Prim's 2nd HR but the Sox responded with a 3 run Kaminski HR before time elapsed and the Sox won 17-3.
