Have you ever heard of a tie in baseball? We saw one today! The final score was the Boston Red Sox 3 and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 3. Most teams don't play extra innings in spring training for fear of injury or over taxing their pitching staff.
The stars were on display. We got to see Manny Rameriz, David Ortiz, Carl Crawford, and Jorge Cantu all play and get hits. Jonathan Papelbon came into the game and worked a perfect 9th inning to get the tie! Does that sound funny or what!
But the hitting stars for Boston were Alex Ochoa who hit a home run in the 8th inning and Argenis Diaz who hit the tied the game up with one out in the 9th with a homer of his own! Alex and Argenis, not exactly your household names.
It was a great afternoon at the City of Palms Park in Ft. Myers. You can click on the picture above to see a slide show with some action shots of the game. Warning! There are a lot of photos and it may take a while to load on your computer.
And just in case you haven't been paying any attention, Opening Day is on Sunday! Play ball!
