"67" (Sorry!) - The Worcester Red Sox - who have matched their season-high of 6-games over .500 at 18-12 - look to go 7-games above for the first time since last June 24 (at 41-34) when they play game five of their 6-game series against the Rochester Red Wings (AAA-Washington) this afternoon at 1:05 pm at ESL Ballpark in Rochester, NY. Today's game can be heard back in New England on NASH 98.9 FM. The WooSox have won 3 in a row and have a 3 games to 1 lead in this series. They are 6-games over .500 for the third time this season...April 10 (9-3) and April 12 (10-4) the others.

Series Results - Worcester was routed in the series-opener on Tuesday night, 10-1, but since then they have rattled off three straight victories. Worcester won both games of Thursday's matinee make-up doubleheader by scores of 4-3 and 7-3. Last night they erased a 5-2 deficit after 3-innings and rallied to win going away, 10-5. The series continues today and concludes tomorrow afternoon also at 1:05 pm. The WooSox will travel back to Worcester on Sunday night and take Monday off as usual - but they will enjoy this one as it's just the second Monday of the season that does not involve travel. The Sox open a 6-game series and homestand against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (AAA-Yankees) on Tuesday night at 6:05 pm at Polar Park.

Threepeat - The WooSox have won 3 straight for the first time since April 8-10. A victory today would give them their first 4-game winning streak since they won a season-high 5 consecutive games from March 31 - April 5 (all of those victories at St. Paul).

View from Above - Worcester is currently alone in 1st-place in the International League East division at 18-12 and have a 1-game lead on Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Syracuse (both at 17-13). Memphis is in 1st-place in the IL West division and owns the overall league lead with their 21-10 record.

Earning Their Flowers - Worcester has won 20 of their last 27 games in Rochester and they are 35-13 here since the latter stages of the 2021 season. The WooSox are 36-18 all-time in Rochester which is affectionately known as the Flower City.
