FINAL

  (7)
Game 1
Edgar started and threw 2 shutout innings but pulled himself for Box claiming he hurt his groin. Braves jumped ahead early scoring 1 in the 1st and 2 in the 2nd. Sox rally for 4 in the 4th behind Martini's 1st career hr, a 3 run shot. Going into the bottom of the 6th Sox are up 7-4. With two outs and one on Chops hits a routine popup to Lil Randall that he calmly drops to keep the inning alive. Next batter comes up in Edgar and he hits a 3 run bomb to tie it, just out of the reach of a stretching Tugboat who then tumbled over the fence very gracefully. Sox take the lead again in the 7th scoring 1, but Sanchez and Chops both hit solo hr's in the bottom of the 7th to win it. Chops' was the walkoff over the right/center chainlink. Tugboat was then smushed by Dr. Jesus.
