Gimenez with a single 6-0 now. Tolleson up.

Apparently not going to this year either.

Tolleson goes down swinging. Inning Over. 6 - 0 Sox on 2 hits.

Nestor out, Omogrosso in to start the 3rd.

Omo pitches around a double with no damage done. Still 6 -0 after 3.

Does anyone know if the offensive success that the Sox have seemingly had so far this spring has to do with anything in particular they are working on? Are they trying to hit the other way? Sacrificing power to make more contact? Taking more walks? etc... Are they just facing bad pitching? Just curious.

 

Rios Singles scoring Thompson. 7-0 Wilkins in for Dunn.

Wilkins singles. Run Scores. Runner to 3rd.

 

"Don't stop now, Boys!!"

Gillaspie a triple. 2 more runs score. 10 - ZIP.

Loman grounds out to short, run scores. 11 - 0

Rangers coming to bat. Andrus, Murphy and AJ due up. 11 -0 Sox in the Middle of the 4th.
