In an attempt to help get Boston's bats rolling, Nikolas took batting practice all the way over here in Salzburg, hoping to send good vibes to such hitters as Big Papi, Jason Varitek, and Jacoby Ellsbury, all of whom had no hits in the LCS versus Tampa Bay.
It seems to have to have helped as the Sox came back from a 7-run deficit to beat Tampa Bay with walk-off J.D. Drew hit to right. Nikolas pulls most of what he hits, and it was exactly that kind of hit that won it for the Sox.
