Red Sox Walk Off with 3-2 Win
In a low-scoring tilt between the Boston Red Sox and the Pittsburgh Pirates, Scott Erickson was the difference-maker. The Boston right-hander earned player of the game honors in the 3-2 win. The winner was Boston reliever Tom Henke, now 5-3. The loser was David Nied. The first-place Red Sox, at 73-52, now lead their division by 2 games.

Matt Williams went 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Boston. In a tie game with no one out in the bottom of the ninth, Williams came through with a solo home run. It put the Red Sox in front, 3-2.

"If I go out there and help the team win, that's all you can do," said Erickson.
