Transcript

On March 28th, with the Boston Red Sox sitting out Friday, the Worcester Red Sox stepped up to kick off their season right here in classic New England.

Chigel, 25-year-old Lefty Jake Bennett, took the ball as the opening day starter, fresh off her tray to the organization, and he didn't disappoint him.

His debut, he tossed three plus innings, gave up just two hits and one run, while fanning five batters, showing sharp command from his six-foot six-frame.

Fans bundled up at Polar Park loved it, even though Worcester fell three to one in a tight loss.

Bennett set the tone early, attacking the zone like a vet.

Before the first pitch on March 27th, Red Sox legend Roger Clemens threw out the ceremonial one to his old battery-made Rich Gedman nodding to the team's pitching routes.

Bennett looked right at home in this triple-A proving ground, forcing hitters to adjust without any drama.

That kind of poise early on screams he's ready to climb, linking yesterday's heroes to the moral stars in Worcester.
