Rico Petrocelli slammed 3 homeruns and had 6 RBI at Fenway Park as the Boston
Red Sox, running on all cylinders, ripped the New York Yankees by a large 17
to 4 margin.
Petrocelli enjoyed a big day at the plate. He bombed a two-run dinger in the
3rd inning, smashed a two-run homer in the 4th inning and cracked a two-run
shot (his 18th of the season) in the 7th inning. Boston kept the
scorekeepers busy in the 4th inning which saw them plate 7 runs on 5 hits and
the 7th inning when they had 4 runs on 4 hits. The Boston offense
man-handled the New York pitching staff as they scored in 7 of the 9 innings.
The victory went to Gary Peters(6-9) who went 6 innings, allowing 4 runs.
Peters got help from Bobby Bolin who earned his 2nd save. Mel
Stottlemyre(10-8) was given the loss. He served up 6 gopher balls in 5
innings.
Boston now has a record of 41-38. Even with the loss, New York still has a
nice 8-2 record in recent weeks. They are 46-36 on the season.
