World Series Game 2: Red Sox vs Rockies

Curt Schilling continued his postseason brilliance in Game 2 against the Colorado Rockies. Schilling allowed 1 run in the first inning that he pitched but that would be the only run that the Rockies could score on the night. Schilling finished with 5.1 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, and 4 Ks.

The Rockies took an early 1-0 lead that lasted until the 4th inning when Jason Varitek hit a game-tying sacrifice fly off of Ubaldo Jimenez. The Red Sox would score again in the 5th inning on an RBI double by Mike Lowell, giving the Red Sox a 2-1 lead.

Schilling left the game in the 6th inning as Hideki Okajima took over to pitch 2.1 perfect innings. Okajima struck out 4 during that span. Jonathan Papelbon came on to pitch the 9th and allowed the tying run on base before retiring the side by striking out 2 Rockies.

The Red Sox won by the score of 2-1 and took a 2-0 series lead with the series headed to Colorado.
