Sometimes the weather can throw a monkey wrench into most plans. However when it comes to baseball, if a game rains out then you make it up with a doubleheader.

​That's what the PawSox did on Saturday. To make up for Thursday's rainout, the PawSox and Buffalo Bisons met at high noon to begin their doubleheader in front of the McCoy faithful and their furry friends (it was Bark in the Park that day).

In Game 1 of the doubleheader, the Bisons won 3-1. In the losing effort for the PawSox, starter Sean O’Sullivan went the full 7 innings while giving up 6 hits, 3 runs (all earned), while striking out 8 Bison batters. LF Chris Marrero went 1-for-3 with an RBI in the bottom of the 4th, driving in the #PawSox only run of the game.
 
Game 2, the PawSox got ahead 2-0 in the first inning but lost the lead after Buffalo plated 3 runs in the following second inning to make it 3-2. However the PawSox were able to tie things up 3-3 in bottom of the fifth on a Sam Travis RBI single and then relied on Travis yet again to drive in the game winning RBI in the bottom of the seventh to make it 4-3 and split the doubleheader.
 
After the game, PawSox skipper Kevin Boles sat down with the media to talk about the two games, his teams performance, and much more.
