The Underdogs Advance!!!

The Boston Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth inning to advance to American League Championship Series for the fourth time in six seasons. Of course the media interviewed the starter Jon Lester, cancer survivor, because he started the game, but that was not the real hero of the game. The media forgot to the mention that Jed Lowrie, Red Sox shortstop, became the fourth rookie in major league history to have the game-winning hit in a series-clinching division game. Jed Lowrie accomplished a major feat and helped the Red Sox advance. It was a team effort and when Terry Francona, the manager of the Red Sox was being interviewed by the media, he eluded to the fact it was a very special night for the Boston Red Sox as a team and he was proud of them for what they did on the field and what they have done all year.
