Game 5: County Crossing 4 at Roxbury 6
Roxbury Wins at Home to Narrow Series Deficit to 3-2
Whokill Poole was not about to watch an opponent celebrate a championship on his home field.
The left-hander pitched the Roxbury Rad Sox to victory at Atomatoys Stadium at Roxbury today, staving off the County Crossing Bloodbugs, who remain one game away from a title. Poole threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The win cuts the series deficit for the Rad Sox to 3-2 in the best-of-7 series.
In the bottom of the first, Duncan MacCready delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and the bases loaded, the Roxbury first baseman hit a 2-run single, putting the Rad Sox in front, 6-4.
"They say the first rule of the playoffs is to win the home games," Poole said afterward. "It feels nice, but it is kind of what we were supposed to do."
Game 6 is scheduled for Wednesday at Beantown Brewery Stadium in County Crossing.
