WS Game 3 Bottom 7

Matsui has a bunt single on Timlin's first pitch.
Tulo takes ball one. Strike one, as Matsui steals 2nd. At 1-2 Troy singles past Lugo up the middle. Matsui had gone back to the bag, thinking Tim might field the ball, so he only gets to third. First and third, nobody out.
Tito comes out to make a double switch. Timlin leaves for Okajima; Coco takes over in center, and Ellsbury moves to RIGHT. Oki is in Drew's spot; Manny's still in the game. I wonder if Hinske will come in at right after Manny bats.
Oki to Holliday. Matt Holliday makes it a one run game with a homer to center field. 6-5 Sox, still nobody out.
Helton takes strike one. Ball one. Ball two, 2-1. Foul, strike two. Another foul. Helton will fight, we all know that. Ball three, full count. Todd singles to left.
Atkins takes strike one. Ball. Foul ripped down by third, 1-2. Foul. Foul again; still 1-2. Ball, 2-2. Oki gets him, swinging, on the 7th pitch of the at bat. One down, Helton still on 1st.
Hawpe is up. Big curve for strike one, looking. Ball one. Foul to the third base seats, 1-2. Hawpe pops one foul, into the third row behind the plate. Foul tip to the backstop, still 1-2. Ball, 2-2. Ball three. Hawpe strikes out swinging on the 8th pitch of the at bat. Two down.
Oki's coming back now.
Torrealba stands in. That curve for another strike one. Ball, 1-1. Curve for strike two, called. Ball two. Foul down the right side, still 2-2. Torrealba taps back to Oki, he throws to Youk, and the inning is finally over.
6-5 Sox after 7.
