BOSTON (WGME) -- It was a very special day for Sports Director Dave Eid on Saturday.

Dave threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to Boston's game against Cleveland Saturday afternoon.

To make it even more special, Dave's son, Drew, stood behind home plate to catch.

Alex Verdugo's RBI double in the bottom of the ninth lifted the Red Sox to a 4-3 win.

The Red Sox are now 1-0 when Dave throws out the first pitch.
