Red Sox 17 Kenmore 16: The Winchester Bantam Girls Red Sox travelled to Kenmore on Wed., June 27, in the Rural Ottawa Softball Association. The Sox went into the game in a first place tie with Gloucester with 16 points each with a record of 7-2.
The Red Sox drew first blood scoring two runs in the top the first but Kenmore came roaring back with four runs in the bottom of the inning taking a 4-2 lead into the second inning. The Red Sox retook the lead scoring four runs in the top of the second inning but the Kenmore team matched it with four runs of their own taking an 8-6 lead.
