down striding in for Boston Bill hner the average just a few ticks shy of 300 for the season so perhaps a hit or two in this one could put him up over the top yeah he's been swinging it pretty well over the last 10 games or so well over 300 and he's someone to watch in this one here fast ball right back to the mound and they'll just fli this on to first for the second out of the end so the bases are empty here with two gun and that will bring up one of the members of the 3000 hit Club Hall of Famer Wade Bob the 11- yanked on the ground down the line and that Finds Its way through for a base hit the throw into second the tag and they'll get second and with that the side is retired now into the box Tony Fernandez it lead things off here in the bottom half of the first lifted in the air to straightway Center Burks is there and he has it for the first down next to stand in is number five thir 500 in the series so far four for eight the 1-1 hit in the air down the right field line green is over just a few steps to his left as he takes it for oute number two next up MC caring a batting average of just over 300 so clearly he's been a productive player with the bat in his hand so far this is on the ground over to First fielded cleanly and he'll step on the bag himself and the in is [Music] over so here's the cleanup hitter Dwight [Applause] [Applause] Evans to the left side but it's well fouled today's contest is of course the finale of the series and the home side has dominated so far they've got the opportunity to complete the s for the win this one this team going for the sweep is looking for some home cooking it's always nice to win a series but particularly nice when you can sweep a series at home and there are two away now so next to hit is Jim Rice now the one and one pitch pitch is popped up Fernandez is there for it no problem with this one and the inning is over [Music] ready to go for the last half of the inning and standing in the rookie outfielder George Bell now a curveball here nowhere close that's in the dirt it's three and one seared down the first Baseline but this will wind up foul as he runs the count full now 32 pitch right side but it's going to be a foul ball fast ball swung on and missed for the first down into the box number 15 the season batting average comes in down in the squared that one up just a little late now another onew grounder down the line at third but this is a foul ball as the count Hold Steady at one and two swing and a liner and the Blue Jays break into the hit column as that's a base hit that a good stepping in now Jessie Barfield in the air to Center fieldfield [Music] FS is there to put it away and the runner will be forced to retreat back to First so now to the pl he went deep in the contest last night and it's up to a 32 Full Count now three and two 32 two out runner on first lots of possible outcomes on this pitch another Full Count pitch home lifted in the air out to center field burs will get there and he puts it away to retire the side [Music] digging in will be Mark [Applause] Sullivan he's set and the 2-1 Pitch hit on the ground to third rained in throw to first in time and the leadoff man is gone to start the third set to get his evening at the pl started marrett trying to get it going at the pl for him so far this to two and two now the offense better get it going right here cuz they certainly can tell from their Dugout this guy is carrying himself with a presence out on the mound he's got f for all his pitches try to hold back but he won't be able to as that's ruled a swing and there are two away now did in the air out to left left fielder is on the move got it great running play in now to back Cecil Fielder is two for seven in the series so far on the ground to the left side box Fields it cleanly throw to first is in time for the first out stepping in the second Bas or a one-1 home oh look out hot shot to Third and there are two away and now back to the leadoff spot line stepping in Tony Fernandez for one here in the early going set and the two and one pitch on the line that's a base hit now batting number five at the PL now number five pitches a cold strike the throw well behind the play that's an easy stolen base here's the two and two swing and a liner and that gets down as he can't get there in time run comes across to score and they jump ahead one nothing now B the first basem in now MCG MC Line Drive Fair ball down the line so now they'll have two men in scoring position following the two out double the left fielder number 11 GE B into the box now George Bell and a curve balls by him that time as he falls behind now one and two okay boys you talking about getting your a swing off right here that's what it looks like a guy with massive power letting it eat BS has it throw to first in time and now with the plate SK Owen flew out last time up the 32 pitch is a wave and a miss he struck him out next up for the Red Sox Bill fuckner rounded out in his last half I got to count two and two and he fouls this one off no runs just one hit and no errors for the Red Sox to this point and this will Ricochet off of them on the mound and they'll have no play as he reaches first base safely standing in now we five grounded up the first Baseline step on the back for one the throw pulls him off the bag up next white Evans trying here to play tying run from second high and deep down the left field line and that will end up a foul ball fouled away here's the payoff Pitch hit high and deep carrying towards the corner and he will crash into the wall but hold on to it there for the final out of the inning [Applause] and now in the box number 15 set to lead us off in the home half of the fourth inning got two balls and this one's up around the eyes two and one High Fly ball out to straight away Center center fielder On The Run he gets to it and makes the catch for the first out so the next Jessie Barfield he flew out in his last outside two and one faces are empty one man out can't find the Zone there and it's three and one team's been struggling on offense let your D work for you right here pound the zone Green will come in a bit and put it away for the second out of the inning now with the plate is the catcher number 14 Ernie wh and an off speed pitch swung on and missed and with that the side is tired now to the play Mike Green he's 0 for one thus [Applause] far and it's up to a 3-2 Full Count now when you get yourself to a 3-1 count and you get a fast ball those are the ones you really want to punish couldn't get the bat on it so we'll see if that comes back to haunted the 32 one more time this is pulled into right Barfield is there to put it away for route number one next here is Jim j one out nobody on got him to reach for it there as this is grounded to short in time to First there two away at the plate now is Mark suan bounced out last time [Applause] up the two2 Fly ball out toward left center field left fielder is on the move he makes the catch what a play on the run to end bottom of the inning now and standing is the DH Cecil Fielder swung on and lifted in the air to left Center rice a range to his left as he tracks this one down in left center for the first down next will be or here's a one andone pitch a swing and a ground ball to Third and that's through for a base hit make him one for two in this one the batter number one short stop at the Tony Fernandez Fernandez fly softly toward the hole and that's in there base hit throw third and he's safe be it up the battle number five into the box number five that's a strike to throw down is not close as he's in there with a stolen base the one and two pitch hard hit ball to Second and that's threw into right field for a base hit one run scores the throw to the plate and he's going to score with ease as the throw will be too late now bat first Bas stepping in now from McGriff right side and that's the second out so now it will be the Four Hole hitter left runs seven hits and no in the game for Toronto a ball and two strikes now one ball two stri hey this is a big pitch right here can't allow them to attack on any more runs let's see if he attacks his own or Buri something in the dirt swing and a liner that's in there base hit around third and being waved on home and he's safe at the plate and they lead Now by four Oil Can Boyd takes over here with the runner at first and two G in the in ladies and gentlemen strike called now the throw down and he'll be tagged out at Second Face trying to get into scoring position but instead the inning is over [Music] so now into the box is Marty Barrett comes into this at bat 0 for one in the ball game if you look at their win percentage or something like that right now got to be honest the odds are obviously stacked against them but I'm looking for them to show me something right here maybe they get back in this game maybe they don't but I want to see what kind of a bats they put together this is where you have to lock in as a team every guy has to go to the pl have a good to get so it was a swinging strike three Ellis SPS goes down for out number two in the top half high in the air and drifting out to shallow Center and he's able to get there on the long run and he covered a lot of ground there as the side is retired and stepping in number 15 he's one for two in the ball game this one's flared toward left Center Owen ranging into the Outfield he gets there and makes the play for the first down the rightfielder number 30 next to bat for Toronto jessei swing and a miss on the fast that time out number two next it'll be Bernie Whit struck out in his last trip to the plate yeah but it was a good change up mdy good arm action on that pitch look for him to try and stay back a little bit more let the ball get a little deeper don't be shocked if this pitcher tries to rush a heater right here the batter the designated hitter Cecil into the box now Cecil Fielder he the fast ball by him here one and two [Music] now swing and a liner in there with base hit the throw to third the tag and is out at third base cut down trying to go first [Applause] to at the plate now Bill Buckner taken in by McGriff and he'll step on first himself for the out stepping up is he's one for two in this one the 1-1 waves and misses for strike number two I mean this offens is struggle because they haven't been able to make the adjustment he stayed staunch on the outer half and these guys have not worked the ball the other way on to First and two down so here's the Boston clean up hitter Dwight white Evan lifted down the line and left Bell gets there for the catch and that ends the last half of the seventh here and that'll give way to the rookie second baseman G orge line drive to left and that falls in for a solid base hit his second of the night with that the Jays put their leadoff man on to start the inning now battle good so now to the play Fernandez it's two balls in his strike to the Jay's leadoff batter shinh High fast ball that time ball three I love the approach out on the mound everything's down in the zone as it should be but now you find yourself in a 3-1 count the elevate a little bit more and get back in z or you just pitch around them on to First and they get him both now B so stepping in is number five he's two for three thus far in front of the change up and he can't keep it fair two strikes on him now hey with two outs in the number two hole you're just trying to get on you got the big boys we'll leave it right there as he strikes out and that ends the inning [Music] can't seem to save leading off the inning it'll be Mike Green and they could use a spark from him here now a swing and a softly hit ground ball the two two one more time gets him swinging he struck him out now it'll be Jim for the Red Sox the left Fast not close as he runs it to two and one now the Blue Jays are maintaining a slim lead in the late going of this series finale so if they can wrap it up they'll complete the series sweep hey Matt what a great spot to be in you're playing good baseball you're going for the sweep and you're leading by a few runs going into the later Innings now it's just time to close the deal and even sweeter of course is getting that series sweep in your own ballpark in front of the home faithful so we'll see if they can send these fans home happy no doubt about it well the play been made and with it comes the end of the inning bottom of inning number eight set to go here comes the first baseman Fred McGriff [Applause] [Music] believe me it's only one man hangs on him a bit that time as it's belted out toward deep center field and this will bang up against the wall and the Jays are in business now it's a leadoff double Eugene Williams is on the [Applause] pitch into the box George Bell lifted in the air to straight away center Long Run for the center fielder but he can't make the play as it finds the Outfield grass now B number 15 to the plate now number 15 a bullet to first base now at the pl here is Jessie number can deliver here run still at second and third with one away now he sends it out to left field well hit and this one is gone a home run that wasn't the plan you just have a meeting with your pitching coach and go over some strategy and all of a sudden you throw one and it leaves the [Music] [Music] ballpark in now Ernie wh one and two count to the blue j s [Music] caller lofted in the air out toward Right Center Green is there and he'll bring this one in coming Toronto C singled in his last at bat a one-1 home looked at for ball number two looked like he got fooled on the speed there two and two the pitch and he strikes him out here so he's able to stop the bleeding a bit as the side is retired [Music] all set for the start of the in and set to go is the second baseman Marty [Applause] Barrett a 1-1 this one's down to third scooped up throw on the first for the out and that is how the ninth inning gets underway and now here is Ellis hers he went down on strikes in his last ATB yeah kind of shocked he got blown away with a fast you could tell he was late on that one and we'll see if he tries to cheat to something this a high in the air down the right field line Barfield will drift over to his left a few steps as he takes it for the second out now back to the top of the lineup stepping in Owen as the switch right handed here this guy handles lefties pretty well as that above 300 batting average ATT test he swings it really good from the right side throw on the first is going to be in time and the blue jams break out the brooms at home and sweep their division Rivals 7 nothing shut out final score tonight the JS LED this game from the third inning on and
