The Worcester Red Sox spent a second consecutive week at Polar Park, last week taking on the Norfolk Tides (Baltimore). After scoring 20 runs in a win on Tuesday the WooSox then lost the next five to tumble down the standings. They are now 11.5 games behind first place Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and only 2.5 games ahead of last place Charlotte and Lehigh Valley.
