WS Game 4 Top 5

Mikey Lowell doubles to left center to start the 5th.
JD Drew will fail to advance him any minute now. Ball one. The idiot taps back to Cook, failing to move Mike over. One down.
Tek should do better. He takes ball one in what may turn into an intentional unintentional walk. They screw up and throw Tek a strike and he pulls it through the right side, scoring Lowell. 2-0 Sox. Tek stops at first.
Lugo drives the first pitch back up the middle for another single, Tek to 2nd. Two on, one down.
Lester will most likely bunt them over for Ellsbury. He misses the first attempt. A strikeout is much better here than a double play. Brilliant insight! That's what I'm here for! Ball one. Lester wants to give them an out; they don't want to take it. Ball two. Another attempt, another miss. 2-2. Ball three to fill the count. He finally strikes out. No reason for that to take 6 pitches to Lester. Two down.
Ellsbury fouls the first pitch. A ball, 1-1. Ball two. A foul into the third base seats, 2-2. Jacoby strikes out on a bad pitch, down and in. The inning is over.
2-0 Sox halfway through.
Inning: 17 pitches, 10 strikes; Game: 59 pitches, 40 strikes. Cook's spot is due second; he could be through.
