PawSox nip Norfolk

Van Every’s homer made a winner of Hunter Jones, the PawSox’ third pitcher, who followed David Pauley’s seven innings and a perfect eighth by Justin Masterson.

...

BACK TO THE FUTURE: Yes, Justin Masterson is being converted to a reliever by the Red Sox, but it’s more of a case of being converted back. “I was a closer in the Cape Cod League in 2005,” he said. “It was kind of like it was in Boston. The starters were all doing well, and they needed somebody in relief, so I was it.”

So how well did he do? “I don’t remember,” he said. “OK, I think. I can remember one game where I gave up a walk-off homer to a kid that the other team was ready to send home. After the homer, he stayed for the rest of the season.”

For the record, Masterson had a 1.15 ERA and 10 saves for Wareham and blew only one save, when Babson College’s Teddy Dziuba homered to win for Bourne.
