The Sons entered the playoffs with high hopes, and for good reason, they had beaten their playoff opponent (the Red Sox) in both their previous regular season meetings 5-3 and 5-4 and they had finished ahead of the Sox in the regular season standings.  In game 1 the Sons held serve and defeated the Red Sox in a closely contested game by a score of 3-2.  Danny "D.K." Keenan pitched a masterful game striking out 10 batters and only allowing 2 runs in 5 2/3 innings.  Dom DePaoli polished off the win with a much needed strikeout of the last batter, as the speedy and distracting Zach Bouhov was lurking on third base as the potential tying run.  Key hits in the game came off the bats of Jake Parker's  double to start the 2nd inning and  Cam Comeau's triple which scored Jake.  Cam then scored on a passed ball for the 2-1 lead.  In the third, the Sons added to their lead with Matt Parker scoring on Dom DePaoli's double, which proved to be the winning hit as the Red Sox could only muster 1 more run to make the final score 3-2.
