FORT MYERS, Fla. — The first batter Daniel Bard faced during Thursday’s exhibition game against Northeastern was Connor Lyons, a junior from Bedford, N.H.
Bard jammed Lyons with a 1-and-1 pitch, and Lyons hit it just hard enough to get over the head of shortstop Stephen Drew. It was just a bloop single, but it was hard not to wonder what would happen next for Bard.

Go Daniel Go!! Can't think of another player on the Red Sox that I cheer harder for.
