BOSTON – The Boston Red Sox picked this week with the Cincinnati Reds in town to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the epic, seven-game World Series that the Big Red Machine won in a Game 7 comeback.
Carlton Fisk has even been on hand this week.
The only thing missing was the rain. Until Tuesday night, when they completed re-living the end of that rain-delayed World Series.
After more than an hour of waiting through a delay in the top of the fourth Tuesday night, the game was suspended and is now scheduled to resume at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Wednesday’s regularly scheduled game remains on a 7:10 p.m. schedule.
The Red Sox lead 2-1 after scoring twice off Brady Singer in the first inning, with Jarren Duran and Roman Anthony hitting back-to-back doubles leading off the inning and eventually scoring.
The Reds scored in the third after Will Benson and Christian Encarnacion-Strand led off with back-to-back singles. Both advanced on TJ Friedl’s soft grounder to third, and Benson scored on Matt McLain’s ensuing grounder to third.
