Mike Aviles doubled twice and knocked in two runs Saturday night as a Red Sox split-squad topped Boston College 6-3 in seven innings. B.C. made much more of a game of it than Northeastern did earlier in the day, but the Red Sox still didn't have to sweat it. Aviles played shortstop tonight, with Nick Punto at second base. Punto is obviously the superior defender of the two, but if Aviles can play solid defense this spring, he'll likely get the nod once the season starts.
