The Red Sox won game four of the World Series last night, tying up the series at two games a piece. This was another dramatic, crazy game with an even crazier ending.
Nobody expected Koji Uehara to end the game by picking off Cardinals pinch runner Kolten Wong at first base (which is the first time in history a World Series game has ended on a pick off), and it happened so fast that I’m surprised I got any pictures out of it.
I’m getting ready to head to the stadium for game five, so there isn’t much time to post, but here are the highlights from the pick off and from Jonny Gomes’ huge three run home run.

Again, I don’t have much time today to post, but I wanted to get this up before the end of the day. A tough loss for the Red Sox last night in game two of the World Series.
Overall, it wasn’t a huge night for action photos from my spot along third base, but here are the highlights. On to game three!

Don’t have a lot of time to post, but here are the highlights from game one of the 2013 World Series! A great start for the Red Sox.
Game two at Fenway begins in a few hours. More to come.
