WooSox defeat Bulls 16-1 as Braiden Ward shines in playoff roster bid

The Worcester Red Sox defeated the Durham Bulls 16-1 on September 18, showcasing strong performances from multiple players. Allan Castro drove in seven runs with a home run and two doubles, while Braiden Ward, competing for a playoff roster spot, contributed significantly by going 5-for-5, scoring each time he reached base, and stealing two bases. With Eli White on the injured list, the team may look to add Ward, who has stolen 61 bases in the minors this season. The WooSox also benefited from a solid six-inning outing from pitcher Michael Sansone, who allowed just one hit. This dominating win could bolster the players' morale leading into the season's final stretch.
