The Red Sox beat the Northeastern Huskies 15-0 today in the first of two games against Boston-area college squads.
David Ortiz hit a 2-run homer in the 4th... it's early, but that's a good sign.
Catching prospect Luis Exposito had a huge day, going 2 for 3 with 4 RBI and 2 runs scored after taking over for Victor Martinez.
Rookies Ryan Khoury and Che-Hsuan Lin each knocked in a pair of runs and Gil Valzquez went 3 for 4 with 2 RBI and 2 runs scored at the bottom of the order.
There was no shortage of offense, but the story of the day was Casey Kelly. In his first outing as a full-time pitcher, Casey did not disapoint. Here's the full beeak down of his inning from WEEI's Full Count:
He retired the Huskies in order. After falling behind leadoff man Tucker Roeder, 2-0, he then came back with three straight strikes to punch him out swinging. He then got Tony DiCesare on a first-pitch groundout to second, then finished the inning by punching out Northeastern’s Frank Compagnone on four pitches, the last one a swing-and-miss fastball.
Kelly’s line was a perfect inning with two strikeouts, in which he threw 10 pitches (seven strikes).
