The Worcester Red Sox present a number of true playmakers on the current roster in the International League.
On Tuesday night, shortstop David Hamilton utilized his speed to make a game-deciding play for the WooSox.
With the game tied at nine in the seventh inning against the Buffalo Bisons, Hamilton started on second base as Bobby Dalbec hit a ground ball up the middle. The ball stayed in the infield as Dalbec reached on a single with a late, slow throw to first base.
Hamilton read the looping throw, rounded third and snuck home with a head-first slide to put Worcester in front. The WooSox held on to win by that same 10-9 score.
