Happy Juneteenth - The Worcester Red Sox play game four of their 6-game series against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (AAA-Philadelphia) tonight at 6:45 pm at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, PA. The WooSox have won two of the first three games of the series despite a 5-4 setback last night. The Sox snapped their 4-game losing streak with Tuesday night's 5-3 victory in the series opener and made it back-to-back wins over the IronPigs with a 7-4, 10-inning triumph Wednesday night. Tonight's game can be heard back in New England on NASH 98.9 FM.

A Win Means They Are a Winner - With three games remaining before the end of the official 1st half of the season (all three here in Allentown this week/weekend) the WooSox are 35-33 and need one more victory to clinch a winning 1st half record. The 1st half ends after this Sunday's game and the 2nd half will begin on Tuesday night (with all teams 0-0) at Polar Park when the WooSox host Toledo.

Second Half Adjustments - As mentioned, the 2nd half begins this coming Tuesday, June 23 with all teams reverting back to a 0-0 record before playing the final 75 games of the season. Tuesday also marks the return to Polar Park for the WooSox who will start the 2nd half with a 6-game series and homestand vs. the Toledo Mud Hens from June 23-28. Note that weeknight game times - with schools closed for the summer - will now be 6:45 pm until the last week of August. So, the series vs. Toledo will feature four night games at 6:45 pm (Tuesday - Friday) and then usual Polar Park weekend start times of 4:05 pm on Saturday and 1:05 pm on Sunday.
