PHOTO GALLERY: Red Sox Take Stoughton Youth Baseball American League Championship

Photos from the SYB American League championship series between the Red Sox and Pirates.

The Red Sox edged the Pirates 3-2 in the third and decisive game of the Stoughton Youth Baseball American League Championship last Friday night to take home the AL crown for players aged 10-12.

With the series tied one game apiece, the Pirates had runners on first and third with two outs in the top of the sixth, and almost pushed the final game into extra innings, but the Red Sox, who had the best regular season record in the AL this season, held on for the win.

The Red Sox won 13-4 in game 1, but the Pirates came back to earn a 5-3 win in the second game of the series to force a final game in the best-of-three series.
