Nat Wright-Kawolski was a little off on this section: "County Crossing has been an amazing offensive juggernaut this season. While Roxbury's offense is a good one, it is nowhere near the Bloodbugs in offensive production. Overall, the Bugs outscored the Sox 715-635. In the top player (RF Rooth, CC) versus top player (LF Goodman, Rox) comparison, County Crossing also has the advantage. Rooth hit .344/.434/.739, leading the CBO in runs (122), home runs (48), SLG, OPS (1.173), WAR (8.7), TB (346), extra-base hits (88), and ISO (.395). Goodman (.334/33/90) was good, but nowhere near the Babs."
Since one was the Series MVP and the other hit .174, perhaps that made all the difference.
