A Bit of History
Jacoby Ellsbury's three-run single was the first three-run single in postseason history.
Update: As I wrote that, Ellsbury hits one deep to left that ticks of Garret Anderson's glove for a double. Anderson looked a bit tentative going for the ball as he was approaching the wall. Ellsbury has two hits on balls that were very catchable.
Update: Once again, the Red Sox take advantage of the error as Youkilis knocks one off the wall in centerfield for a double and the Red Sox tie the game at four. All four are the result of dropped balls off Jacoby Ellsbury's bat.
Update: Saunders walks Bay, and then comes out of the game. Jose Arredondo takes over with two out and two on.
Update: Arrendondo strikes out Lowell looking to end the fifth. Saunders defense lets him down, otherwise he'd likely still be in the game with a lead and a chance for a win.
