WS Game 2 Bottom 8

You're a game down in the World Series, and trailing 2-1 in the top of the eighth. A future Hall of Famer is in the box, and you get yourself picked off? That just cannot happen!
Strike one to Jacoby; Fuentes is still in. At 1-1, Ellsbury flies to Taveras. One down.
Lugo fouls...no, Laz Diaz rules that the bunted ball hit him out of the batter's box. Two down. A mild argument, but it looks like Diaz had it right to me.
Manny Corpas, the Rockies' closer, will relieve Fuentes to pitch to Pedroia. He just needs some work. Ball one to Dustin. At 2-0 he singles to right. One on, two down.
Youk gets another chance. He's hitless tonight, but with two walks. Ball one. At 1-2, Youk grounds into a 4-6 Fielder's Choice, with Dustin out at second.
We'll go to the Ninth, Sox up 2-1.
