Beckett was all over the place in the first inning as he allowed a hit and plunked two batters. But then he settled down, retiring the next nine batters he faced as he threw 55 pitches in four innings on three days rest. Yes, I said three days rest.
The only thing we didn’t know is who their first victim opponent would be. Now we do.
He had his command issues early on issuing three walks but he settled down after that and threw the ball well. All total in four innings of work, Lester allowed a run on one hit and four walks while striking out two.
The Huskies will begin their title defense in the 2012 NCAA Tourney as the No. 9 seed in the South region. They’ll take on the Iowa State Cyclones on Thursday at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, KY. The game will start at approximately 9:20 p.m. and will be broadcast nationally on TBS.
The Red Sox also signed a slew of pitchers to minor league contracts to compete with the pair but if both continue to pitch like they did on Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Rays, it’s likely they could win the spots.
