Finally, the Revolution got a break.
Kennard Jones drove a two-out pitch from Somerset's Kip Bouknight to straightaway center field and cut the Patriots' lead to two in the top of the sixth inning. On an evening where nothing seems to be going York's way the Revolution are oh-so-close to evening up this crucial playoff game.
Dan Foli got the job done and was replaced by Juan Padilla in the sixth. Then Wayne Franklin, York's winningest starter, came in and retired hard-hitting Brandon Larson to get out of a tight situation with runners on first and second.
The seventh inning has been friendly to York all year. The Revs have scored 104 runs in the seventh inning this season, making it their second most productive frame. That's exactly what they need tonight to force a decisive game three in Somerset.
