Recap: Correia Can Hit. BUCS WIN.

Red Sox 5, Pirates 7
Kevin Correia got into a bit of trouble in the 1st, allowing the first two Sox batters to get on with hits, but it was killed by a nice 4-6-3 double play and a groundout to short. In the bottom, things got off to a rocky start with a foul tip strikeout by Tabata. Neil Walker on base via a terrible throw by 1B Nate Spears. Cutch hits a long fly to the wall in left and Walker can't get back to the bag so it's a double play.

Better start to the 2nd for Correia as he Ks the first batter Cameron. But then McDonald gets on with a hit to right. Recovered nicely by another 4-6-3 DP to end the half. Overbay pops up a foul ball to 3B to start the bottom. Pedro strikes out swinging. Matt Diaz grounds out to 3B to end a 1-2-3 inning.

Some joke grounds out to short to start the 3rd. Stuck watching an interview with some marketing dude and the game is pushed to the side. Spears grounds out to 2B. Scutaro strikes out to end the half. Infield popup by Cedeno to start. Dusty Brown flies out to right. Correia with a nice base hit to right center. Tabata ends it with a ground out to 2B.
