The WooSox have won two other morning starts and both game on the road...4-3 in Game 1 of a doubleheader at Rochester on April 30 and most recently an 8-1 victory at Scranton/WB on May 27. Worcester is 16-12 in day games this season and 12-15 at night. Today's game is live on NESN and can be heard on NASH 98.9 FM.
Getting in Tune in June - The WooSox began their June schedule with their 3-2 walk-off victory in the series opener over Buffalo last night. Worcester will play 26 games in the 30 days of June. They are coming off a 10-15 month of May. Last night was Worcester's third walk-off win of the year, their 8th last at-bat win, and their 11th come-from-behind victory of the season. It also snapped their 5-game home losing streak dating back to May 19-23.
Number One - The WooSox have been involved in four 1-run games in their last five outings (going 3-1 in those) after playing a total of just eight 1-run games in their first 50 games. Overall they are 7-5 in 1-run affairs this season.
This Series - Buffalo is making their first visit to Worcester of the season this week/weekend. The 6-game set continues this morning at 11:05 am, gets back to night games on Thursday & Friday evenings both at 6:05 pm, and then concludes over the weekend on Saturday at 4:05 pm and Sunday at 1:05 pm. This is Buffalo's first of two visits to Polar Park this season (they are back for another 6-game set from August 11-16). Worcester goes back to Buffalo when it's almost football season for a 6-game set from September 1-6. The Bisons took 4 of 6 from the WooSox in Buffalo less than three weeks ago from May 12-17. Buffalo and Rochester are the two opponents the WooSox face the most this season (24 total vs. each).
Heading in the Right Direction - Worcester has won 5 of their last 7 games after dropping 10 of 12 from May 10-23. Prior to last night's 3-2 win over Buffalo, they most recently took 4 of 6 games at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last week/weekend. They went to Moosic, PA on a season-high 5-game losing streak (all at home vs. Rochester from May 19-23), but won the first four in a row.
