Boston Blushes as Crimson Tide Sweeps Fenway for 12th Straight WinBoston Blushes as Crimson Tide Sweeps Fenway for 12th Straight Win The Boston Red Sox were left blushing as the Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team stormed Fenway Park, securing their 12th consecutive victory with a resounding 6-2 triumph. In front of a capacity crowd, the Crimson Tide pitchers put on a masterclass, striking out 10 batters and allowing only four hits. Starter Connor Prielipp was particularly dominant, fanning five in his five innings on the mound. Meanwhile, Alabama’s offense came alive early, scoring three runs in the first inning. Chandler Taylor drove in two with a double, while Caden Rose added a third with a single. The Tide extended their lead to 5-0 in the third inning thanks to a two-run homer by William Hamiter. The Red Sox managed to claw back one run in the fourth inning on a solo shot by Rafael Devers, but the damage had already been done. Alabama added another run in the sixth inning to put the game out of reach. For Boston, the loss was their third in a row, dropping them to 4-7 on the season. Manager Alex Cora expressed disappointment with his team’s performance, saying, “We weren’t ready to play today. We got out-pitched and out-hit.” On the other hand, Alabama head coach Brad Bohannon hailed his team’s effort, saying, “This was a great win for us. The pitching was phenomenal, and the offense came through when we needed it.” The Crimson Tide’s 12-game winning streak is their longest since 2019, and it has propelled them to the top of the SEC West standings. They will look to extend their impressive run when they face the Texas Longhorns in a three-game series this weekend. As for the Red Sox, they will have to regroup quickly as they prepare for a tough road trip that includes stops in Cleveland, Oakland, and Seattle. They will hope to turn things around and avoid a disappointing start to the season.
