Red Sox fans feared the worst when they saw how the team’s best hitter Manny Ramirez was shown the door during the second inning. He was ejected after his first at-bat because he dared question a called third strike by plate umpire Paul Emmel. A heated exchange of words took place right before his ejection. Fans started praying for a miracle and sure enough, the Red Sox wrestled the game back from the Texas Rangers to beat them with a final score of 6-5.

They first kept fans at the edge of their seats with a 5-0 deficit but finally managed to overcome all odds to win for the eighth time out of nine games that they played. First baseman Sean Casey was quick to comment that they can still win the game because they have ample talents. He also added that he is proud of the team’s overall perseverance and never-say-die attitude. He could be referring to Joe Thurston who came into the field as Ramirez’s replacement. To date, the Red Sox kept a great game momentum this season to secure five or more runs in the last eight games they played in.
