Sox take lead in a unique way
By Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff
The Sox took a 2-1 lead on an inning-ending grounder. That's right. Manny Ramirez' grounder up the middle hit off pitcher Jamey Wright, bounced to third baseman Ramon Vazquez, who tagged out David Ortiz for the final out. But Kevin Youkilis had already scored before the out being made. Thus, home plate umpire Andy Fletcher ruled the run counted.
Wright helped matters in the inning by throwing a wild pitch which advanced the runners to second and third with two outs.
