David Ortiz, Shane Victorino and the Boston Red Sox closed in on yet another World Series championship, battering October ace Michael Wacha and taking a 6-0 lead through six innings Wednesday night in Game 6. Slumping Shane Victorino lined a three-run double off the Green Monster in the third, and the cheers, chants and singing only got louder after that. Many fans paid over $1,000 per ticket for this night, knowing what was at stake - holding a 3-2 edge in the best-of-seven matchup, Boston was hoping to celebrate a championship on its own field for the first time since 1918. John Lackey worked around six hits in blanking the Cardinals.
