Apparently Crisp flew out to end the game with a runner on. But, wait! We can't have that, not in Beantown! An umpire had ruled a balk on the Toronto pitcher, and the last out doesn't really happen! (Insert obligitory Toronto manager ejection here.) Then, Crisp singles to keep the game alive! The tying run indeed comes to the plate! Can Boston score that "layup" to win after the "do-over"?!
Nope. Last is out is made, and the Toronto shutout is preserved. (Must not have had any Soviet-born umpires out there.)
(Ok, so it's Friday, and I need a weekend real bad.)

So you're saying that even with the umpires giving 127% to help the home team the sawx couldn't pull out a win.
