WORCESTER In the offensive outburst at Polar Park Saturday afternoon, Jeter Downs’ performance stood out among the rest.
Downs went 3-for-4 with his first Triple-A home run, a double, single, stolen base, three RBI and two runs scored in the WooSox’ 10-5 win over the Syracuse Mets Saturday in Worcester.
“He’s just an ultra-talented player, and it was only a matter of time,” WooSox pitching coach Paul Abbott said of Downs. “He came in there and got a good pitch, and it was a matter of time. He’s been working hard with our coaches. Nobody is exempt from thinking too much when you start to struggle, he just needs to get comfortable and get his mind right, and we’ll see some things that we’re excited to see from him.”

WORCESTER The Worcester Red Sox are proving that they have a stable of pitchers who are ready to contribute if the major-league team needs them.
The pitching staff was on display at Polar Park Friday night, with starter Kyle Hart tossing six scoreless innings and the bullpen allowing just one run and hanging on to help the WooSox secure a 2-1 win in 10 innings. Hart bounced back from a rough first start in which he allowed four runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings to shut down the Mets lineup, striking out six.
