Bottom 7

Betancourt comes in. We haven't done anything with him.
Ellsbury gets his first look at Betancourt. Strike one, called. What was Joel Skinner thinking? God love him! Apparently the fearsome arm of Manny Ramirez intimidated the Indians' third base coach. At 1-2 Blake misplays a grounder into a two base error. It was the ever-popular side-saddled Ole play.
Lugo is in the box. He squares and bunts beautifully to Garko, on to Cabrera covering 1st. Jacoby to 3rd with one out. Nice work!
Dustin needs to do anything that scores Ellsbury. Suicide? I've never seen Tito do that, and he won't do it now. Foul back to the screen. Dustin was the second toughest to strike out in the AL this year. AND HE HOMERS TO THE MONSTER SEATS!!! 5-2 Sox! The kid comes up BIG!
Ding, Dong Betancourt's dead!
Strike one to Youk. On the second pitch Youk breaks his bat grounding to Peralta. Two down.
I told you Pedroia would come up big. He started the season slowly, figured it out, and had a great year. He's done the same in the postseason.
Papi swings for strike one. At 1-2 Papi flies to Lofton in left.
You, Indians, must now get 3 off of Jonathan Papelbon. Good luck!
5-2 Sox after 7.
The Mighty Betancourt: 14 pitches, 12 of them strikes. 1 IP, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 H
