PawSox Bring the Cup Back to the Bucket

BREAKING NEWS! Forget about all the drama up at Fenway, forget about whether or not Bobby V will be back in 2013, and generally  forget about those losers up in Boston. The true diamonds of the 2012 Red Sox organization will not be found in the Hub City, but rather in your very backyard. Yes, that's right folks; I'm talking about the 2012 Governor's Cup Champions: the Pawtucket Red Sox.

After defeating Scranton Wilkes-Barre in the first round of the International League Playoffs, Arnie Beyler's squad took on the IL South Division winners, the Charlotte Knights. In dominating fashion, the Paw Sox swept the Knights three games to none. The key to Pawtucket's success was their pitching staff. In Game 1, Steven Wright mowed down the Knights in 7 innings of play, striking out 6 while giving up only 2 runs in a 7-2 victory. Then in Game 2, Zach Stewart shut out the Knights, going 6 innings and allowing just 4 hits while striking out 4. And in the Game 3 clincher, Nelson Figueora pitched 7 innings of tough baseball, striking out 5 while only allowing 1 run.

Now after obtaining their first Governor's Cup title since 1984, the PawSox will have the chance to prove that they are the best team in Triple A this upcoming play Tuesday in the Triple-A Championship game. This will be their first chance to participate in such a game, and they will face the winner of the Omaha Storm Chasers/Reno Aces series in the Pacific Coast League Finals. While 2012 is a year that many Boston Red Sox fans want to disregard, it is a year that the Pawtucket Red Sox will not soon forget.
