Red Sox Punch Ticket to Second Straight World Series!
The Red Sox took Game 6, again in a blowout, 13-6 to advance to their second World Series in as many years; giving them the opportunity to win back-to-back World Series after not winning a single one for nearly NINE decades.
The Red Sox started the game quickly by scoring one run in each of the first two innings, the first on an RBI single and the second on an RBI single by Varitek to score John Olerud. They would be trailing after the second, however, as the Tigers managed to plate 3 in the inning, on an RBI single from Pudge Rodriguez and an RBI double by Ramon Martinez, making the score 3-2 Tigers after 2. They would go into the bottom of the 5th trailing 5-2, but the Red Sox would drive in 2 in the inning on a sac fly, by Bill Mueller, and an RBI single, by John Olerus, to make it 5-4 in favor of the Tigers. They scored one run again in the 6th to tie it, but the Tigers would come back to take the one run lead again in the top of the 7th. The Red Sox went into the bottom of the 7th trailing by one, until Gabe Kapler double in John Mabry to tie the game. The Red Sox would blow it open in the 8th, however, scoring 6 runs on 4 hits in the inning. The inning would all but guarantee the Red Sox the victory, and they did indeed win by a final score of 12-6.

P.S. - Mabry was in there because Payton got a 15 day injury after Game 5 so I had to sign someone to stick in Payton's old position. I meant to write a story about it but I forgot to because these ALCS games have actually been done for about a week now, I just haven't had the time to write about them. I haven't played the World Series out yet, however, so that remains to be seen
