In the the top of the sixth, Louisville added another run after Suarez led off the inning with a single and then was brought in by an RBI single by Ramon Cabrera.
Pawtucket was able to break through in the sixth with a solo homerun by Travis Shaw. This would be the last run scored in the ball game.
Offensively for the Bats, Suarez, Cabrera, and LaMarre all were 2-for-4 in the Bats win, with Suarez and Cabrera each picking up one RBI and Suarez scoring twice. For the Red Sox, Jackie Bradley led the way going 3-for-4. Shaw had a single and walk along with his homerun to go 2-for-3 on the day.
