(Worcester, MA) -- The Worcester Red Sox won their debut home game on Tuesday. The WooSox beat the Syracuse Mets 8-to-5 in the first game ever played at Polar Park. The Pawtucket Red Sox announced plans in 2018 to relocate to Worcester and the team hit its target date, although construction work on the ballpark has not been fully completed. This was the first home game played for the triple-A minor league Boston Red Sox affiliate since September 2nd, 2019. The coronavirus pandemic wiped out last year's anticipated final PawSox season at McCoy Stadium.
