The Drive for Five - The Worcester Red Sox - winners of four straight games to begin this series - will try to match their longest winning streak of the season when they play game five of their 6-game set against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (AAA-Yankees) tonight at 6:35 pm at PNC Field in Moosic, PA. The WooSox had a season-best 5-game winning streak from March 31 - April 5 (all in St. Paul when the Sox swept an abbreviated 5-game series vs. the Saints). Tonight's game can be heard back in New England on NASH 98.9 FM.
Heading in the Right Direction - Worcester came to Scranton/WB on a season-high 5-game losing streak (all at home vs. Rochester from May 19-23), but the WooSox have turned their fortunes around here in Moosic this week winning 4 in a row by scores of 6-3, 8-1, 1-0, and 6-5 to clinch a winning series with two games remaining over the weekend (tonight at 6:35 pm & tomorrow at 1:35 pm).
Stats vs. Scranton/WB This Week - While winning each of the first four games vs. the RailRiders this week, WooSox pitchers have largely been the story. Sox pitchers are 4-0 with a 2.25 ERA (9 ER in 36 IP) with the following overall pitching line - 36 IP, 20 H, 9 R, 9 ER, 14 BB, 50 SO. Worcester is batting .246 as a team during the series (33-for-134) but with 4 key homers and they have out-scored the RailRiders, 21-9 in the first four games.
Drake Maye Will Play at Polar Park - While the WooSox will be completing their 6-game series in Moosic, PA playing Scranton/Wilkes-Barre tomorrow afternoon, Polar Park will be the place to be later that afternoon and evening. The inaugural MayeDay Celebrity Softball Classic, benefitting Drake and Ann Michael Maye's MayeDay Family Foundation, will take place tomorrow (Sunday) at Polar Park. Gates open at 5:00 pm, there will be a HR Derby at 6:00 pm, the game at 7:00 pm, and then fireworks follow. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel will coach one team while Pats offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels will coach the other team. Former Patriot Julian Edelman along with current Pats such as Christian Gonzalez, Hunter Henry, Will Campbell, Pop Douglas, Rhamondre Stevenson, Romeo Doubs, Mack Hollins, Marcus Jones and many other Patriots will be in attendance, NHL Hall of Famer Zdeno Chara, USA Hockey gold medalist Megan Keller and celebrities Dave Portnoy and Matt Rife are just some of the other name folks who will join Drake and Ann Michael (and Drake's three brothers) for this special charity event at Polar Park. Over 8,500 tickets have been sold. Fans can visit MayeDay.org for more information.
