Minor Lines 5/16: The Philip Sikes and Roman Anthony Show
Briefly

Boston sports fans have faced a challenging week, particularly with the Red Sox. However, the minor league teams, notably the WooSox and Portland Sea Dogs, have shown glimpses of hope. Robert Stock pitched a stellar game for the WooSox, while Portland battled back but ultimately fell in extras due to missed opportunities. The Drive struggled significantly against Spartanburg, with only five hits throughout the game, underscoring their offensive woes. The summary reflects the current struggles of Boston's teams and hopes for better performances ahead.
For once, Portland faces a sunny weekend in Somerset (Yankees AA) so here's hoping for no double-headers that they have to make up later!
The Drive had just five hits in the game, and so the fact that there was only two of such hits in the first eight innings is where the blame on this loss lies.
Cooper Criswell and Nick Burdi's promotions to Boston necessitated someone to eat innings, leading to Robert Stock's impressive seven-inning performance, striking out six.
Mikey Romero's double sparked Portland's comeback from a 2-0 deficit, showcasing the competitive spirit of the team despite falling short in extras.
