WS Game 3 Top 3

Ellsbury lines a double down the left field line on the first pitch.
Pedroia takes ball one. At 1-1, he attempts to sacrifice, but it turns into a bunt single! Ellsbury to third, no one out.
Papi lines the first pitch for a double to right. Ellsbury scores, Pedroia to third. 1-0 Boston! We are about one hit away from putting this thing out of reach.
Clint Hurdle is sober, so they are walking Manny intentionally.
Lowell can make them pay, and pay big. Ball one. Ball two. The 2-0 strike on the inside corner was Fogg's 50th of the game. Mike drives the 2-1 back through the box for a two run single. 3-0 Sox, first and second, nobody out.
Drew takes a called strike one. Ball one, 1-1. He pops the third pitch to Tulo. Idiot.
Tek will try to do some business here. Ball one. Tek lines a single to left, and Manny's coming to the plate, and Barrett blew the call. Manny slapped the plate as he was sliding by, but Barrett called him out. Two down, first and third.
Lugo walks on 4 straight. At least he flipped the lineup again.
Dice K LINES THE FIRST BALL THROUGH THE HOLE AT SHORT FOR TWO RUNS! It's his first ML hit, his first ML rbi! Can you believe it? 5-0 Sox!
Ellsbury takes ball one. At 3-1 the KID LINES A DOUBLE TO LEFT CENTER! Lugo scores, Dice K to third. Still two out, but that never matters with this lineup. They just don't care. They have knocked Fogg out of the game with a (so far) 6 run third.
Pedroia is the 11th batter of the inning, the first for Franklin Morales, who got beat up in relief in Game 1. No kidding, he enters with an ERA of 94.50. No misprint! Ball one. Dustin rips a screamer to Atkins, who fields and throws across to Helton.
The inning is over, but what an inning! 6-0 Sox, going to the bottom of the third.
It was a 28 pitch inning for Fogg before his departure, putting him at 67 pitches in 2.2 innings. Mind boggling!
