8.10.11 Pawtucket Red Sox @ Charlotte Knights

Charlotte Knights take it, 8-5. Tough night, Royce Ring. Starting pitcher for the Red Sox was Brandon Duckworth. Duckworth pitched 6 2/3 innings, as usual. He gave up five runs on seven hits, including two home runs by freaking Dallas McPherson. I'd say Duckworth has had better days. Dylan Axelrod put it down for FMSC, working.... Well, laboring for five innings and giving up four runs on eight hits. Axelrod struck out five and walked three. Axelrod's first inning was pretty sloppy. Che-Hsuan Lin led off with a single. A double by Nate Spears allowed Lin to take third and set everything up for Ryan Lavarnway, who flew out to left so Lin could score. Lars Anderson did Lavarnway one better and singled to right, scoring Spears. Axelrod then walked Nava and Carroll to load the bases, but he struck out Hector Luna and Brett Carroll to escape. But Pawtucket was up 2-0, so the Knights... They probably didn't really care that much. Charlotte tied the game up in the fourth...
