Beneath a ceiling of warm summer skies, the Mariners edged the Red Sox 9-8 in three innings of Mosquito Division action this evening at Christie Pits Diamond 2.

Here is a Mariners account of the proceedings:

  • Mariners starter Julia (8) pitched a no-hitter in the first to keep the game scoreless after one inning of play.
  • Mariners relievers William (10) and Joshua (13) made their Mosquito Division pitching debuts in the second frame.
  • Entering the fray in the top of the third, M’s reliever Grayson (11) teamed up with catcher Julia on a heads-up play to save a run by throwing out a Red Sox base runner trying to make it home on a ground ball back to the pitcher.
  • Down 8-3 in the bottom of the third, the Mariners put together an incredible comeback to win the game 9-8.
  • The Mariners had a great night at the plate – every single player got an RBI and scored a run!
  • Jordan (12) had the longest hit of the night with a 2 RBI double in the second and he scored a run in the third.
  • Rookie Ball Division call-up player Rosie (11) stole a base, scored a run, and had 2 RBIs – including the game-winner!
  • Grayson scored two runs, stole two bases and got an RBI.
  • James (1), Julia, and Joshua (13) each scored a run and got an RBI.
  • And James also stole second in the second.
  • William stole a base, scored two runs, and got a RBI.

Here is a Red Sox recap of the game:

  • In the top of the first, the Red Sox loaded the bases but were unable to score.
  • Aided by his catching battery-mate Lucas (11), and a pop-up catch by Liam (12), Red Sox starter Vincent (4) pitched a tidy three up and three down bottom of the first.
  • In the next two innings, the Red Sox were able to score eight runs to take an 8-3 lead.
  • However, in the bottom of the final frame, the Mariners were able to come back and win the game when the winning run was walked home.
