A day Worcester would like to forget actually started with a memorable inning, even if it was no match for Boston’s mammoth top of the eighth yesterday. Four runs is still nothing to sneeze at, especially with a David Hamilton lead-off homer. Goodrum drove Dalbec in. Palka’s double play yielded a Wilyer Abreu run, and Greg Allen’s single made it 4-0. A great start to back up Brandon Walter!
Too bad they’d get one hit for the remainder of the game, (courtesy of Abreu), and Walter would give up five runs (though only two earned.) As a result, the seven-inning contest ended 5-4.
