WS Game 2 Top 6

Curt had a nice break in the bottom of the 5th. Things like that matter after one's 40th.
Matsui takes strike one. At 2-2 he pops to Lugo.
Holliday takes ball one. And singles sharply to left.
Helton's scary. Strike one. He works it full, only the 3rd for Schilling tonight. Ball four. The second walk for Curt.
Curt Schilling leaves the mound at Fenway Park for what may be the last time. He gets a tremendous ovation, and, as he always does, he acknowledges the fans. If that's it, it has been an historic relationship.
Hideki Okajima has been our best non-Papelbon reliever all season. He's in now, with two on and one out, and a one run lead.
Atkins takes ball one. At 2-1 he grounds to Youk, unassisted; the runners each advance a base. Second and third, but now two out.
Hawpe check swings too far for strike one. And takes a called second. AND OKI MAKES HIM LOOK BAD ON A SWINGING STRIKE THREE!!!
2-1 Sox in the middle of the 6th.
Curt, Inning: 16 pitches, 9 strikes; Game: 82 pitches, 55 strikes.
Oki, 7 pitches, 5 strikes.
