The Red Sox have a chance to clinch this week’s series against the Athletics, and Thursday afternoon they’ll give the ball to one of their best arms. Brayan Bello (11-7, 3.25) will take the mound for the series finale, and the Red Sox right-hander is scheduled to face off against A’s righty J.T. Ginn (3-6, 4.69). The Red Sox will go with the same top four in their lineup as in Wednesday’s walk-off win, with Jarren Duran leading off, Trevor Story batting second, Alex Bregman third and Masataka Yoshida cleanup. Entering the day the Red Sox trail the Toronto Blue…

In many respects, doubt can be a powerful source of motivation. Some might fold under the pressure of such. Others use it as fuel for their fire, hungry to prove people wrong. Last week, a motivated Central Catholic team made the trip to Morrissey Boulevard for an anticipated tilt with BC High, and emerged with a decisive 28-7 victory over a perennial Catholic Conference titan. On the South Shore, others felt that Hanover might be too much to handle for a Hingham team hoping to make a statement. In an instant classic, the Harbormen surrendered the lead with 1:35 remaining.…
Did the Boston Red Sox need that, or what? With the team struggling in September, their grasp on the American League Wild Card was slipping. After a back-and-forth contest with the Athletics, the Red Sox found themselves in the tenth inning. To that point, they had already used Justin Wilson, Justin Slaten, Steven Matz, Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman out of the bullpen. With a runner on second base to start the inning, Alex Cora turned to Zack Kelly. The reliever allowed a quick hit to put runners on the corners, but a strikeout and popout later lessened the threat.…
Trevor Story got caught stealing tonight, which is a thing we haven’t said all year. Story wasn’t going to just keep on running unhindered forever, of course; every streak comes to an end. But the fact that it happened tonight is telling, because a lot of our expectations as Red Sox fans were upended tonight:Look, the Red Sox needed to win tonight, and they did. It wasn’t pretty — and it probably didn’t give you the warm and fuzzies when you look ahead to the postseason — but they found a way to win on a night when nearly every…
The Independent School League, as we knew it, no longer exists. Realignment has come to the New England Prep School Athletic Council, and it has split the ISL into two groups. The council has shifted to three classes, A, B and C, and Massachusetts has programs represented in all three, with the ISL having members in B and C. Class A consists of two groups, with Group 1 comprising six Connecticut schools from the Founders Conference and Dexter-Southfield, an independent program based in Brookline. Class A Group 2 consists of the eight members of the Northeast Prep League, including Phillips…

It was ugly, stressful and at times hard to watch. But at this point in the season, the Red Sox will take a win any way they can get one. The Red Sox survived a tractor pull of a game Wednesday night, beating the Athletics 5-4 in 10 innings on a walk-off fielder’s choice by Nick Sogard. The game dragged on more than three hours and featured 14 pitchers between the clubs. Boston finally broke through after Carlos Narvaez laid down a sacrifice bunt to move the extra-innings ghost runner to third, and Nate Eaton came across to score after…
