Trailing by seven entering the 7th inning, the Sox erupted for 8 runs to storm back and take the lead. Matt Kempf, Ferbert, Teddy Pratt, Michael Oliveira, and Eric Clayton all delivered clutch hits during the rally.

Kempf, who entered in relief in the 7th inning, slammed the door shut by retiring the side in order in the bottom of the 8th to secure the victory.
