Boston's big guy, David Ortiz, posted the second highest single-series batting average in the Fall Classic of 2013. All he did was hit an astonishing .688 in the six games. I guess Dave was determined not to let the St. Louis Cardinals win.
David hammered home the point in game one at home, going 2-3, with three RBIs and a pair of runs scored. The Red Sox won 8-1, but amazingly, they got just six additional hits. But for the Cards, Dave was just warming up. He had a longball to his name in this. Game two saw another home run.
In the second game at Fenway, the home team came up short. Ortiz got two hits, knocked home another two. But Boston got just four hits, total in a 4-2 loss. Ortiz hit his big blast in the bottom of the sixth. To no avail!
The Red Sox lost game three in St. Louis on a bizzare play. Ortiz had only one hit. He did not score a run or knocked in any. But officially, he went 1-2 with two walks, so it was another strong game. Boston now trailed 2-1, so game four was a must.
Ortiz was not retired in the game, going 3-3 with two runs scored and another walk for good measure. Boston won this game 4-2. Ortiz did not finish the game, as he left for a pinch runner. Boston though, was not finished. They took the final game in St. Louis 3-1, to go up three games to two in the 2013 Fall Classic. Ortiz? 3-4 with an RBI.
The Red Sox closed this out 6-1 at home. It was the first time Boston won the World Series at Fenway since 1918. Ortiz had an odd game. How many times have you seen someone go 0-1 and score two runs? Well, Dave did just that. He also walked four times, three of them intentional. In his one at-bat, he fanned. I think St. Louis was scared of him at this point. But it was too late.
MVP of the 2013 Fall Classic? Ortiz!
