Achilles Ready for Comeback

FORT MILL, S.C. -- Curt Schilling was mighty sharp for a guy who went 66 days between starts.
Schilling, who last fall helped the Red Sox win their first World Series since 1918, limited the Charlotte Knights to one run and five hits in five innings at Knights Stadium last night in his first injury rehabilitation start for the Pawtucket Red Sox.
''I thought it was a very positive step," Schilling said. ''There was some progression from first through fifth. In the fourth and fifth, I felt like I started to pitch. A lot of progression, as much mentally as physically."
Of his 78 pitches, 57 were strikes. His lone three-ball count was against the batter he walked, and Schilling retired 7 of 8 hitters to end his stint. The Knights rallied in the ninth to beat the PawSox, 5-4.
