White Sox Schedule

Southsiders Top Cubs 10-4
FRASER, MICHIGAN (DETROIT MSBL NEWZWIRE)

New White Sox Aaron Pishalski pitched five solid innings, then locked in the win with a 3 RBI double in the bottom of the 6th, as the White Sox notched their first win in 2019, topping the Cubs 10-4. 

The win is Pishalski's first in the Hughes division.  Ken Grawburg struck out 3 for a 2-inning save, and the Sox moved up into a 4th place tie.

The White Sox used small ball and agressive baserunning to stake an early lead, pilfering three pillows in the bottom of the first.  However, the Cubs managed to cut down two runs at the plate in the stanza, limiting the damage.  Gardulski, Witherspoon and Pishalski enjoyed multi-hit games, with the former chalking up 3 hits on the day.  Pishalski finished with 4 RBI, and Sexton - a Detroit MSBL rookie - continues to swing a hot bat in the young season.

The White Sox were rejuvenated with fresh white jerseys, which will prove superior to the black alternates as the temperatures creep up. They'll look to continue trending upward when they take on the Cardinals, 6:00 PM Wednesday at Hazel Park. 

Shorthanded Sox Bounced by Bengals

The White Sox continued to slump offensively, falling to the Great Lakes Tigers 14-3.

Mark Andrew staked the Palehose to an early lead with a three-run blast in the bottom of the third.  The homer is the first in 45+ White Sox history, and a first for Andrew as well.

The Tigers took that lead away in the top of the 4th, stealing 3 bases and going ahead 4-3. Then things really went South for the Southsiders in the in the 5th, with the Great Lakes gang stealing 8 bases and sending 14 men to the plate.  When the dust cleared, the Sox were down by a hopeless 11 runs.

Ari Lehman gets stuck with the loss.  The White Sox resume play vs. the Angels on Friday.

White Sox Stun Red Sox
Rally in 6^th Ignites Comeback Win

REDFORD – Behind a journeyman effort by pitcher Ari Lehman, the short-handed 45+ White Sox staged a spectacular come-from-behind win against the Red Sox.  

Trailing 9-1 after 5 innings versus Koperski, the Southsiders took advantage of wild relievers to line up free passes and plate six.  In the top of the seventh, Koperski returned to the mound (yes, you read that right).  The Palehose managed five more runs, including a two-run double by Andrew that looked in every way like a home run, but five feet short.  His two RBI were the margin of victory.  After giving away several extra outs early, the White Sox played more capably late, limiting the Red Sox to a single run late and putting the cuffs on those who would steal. 

The win was just the 4^th of the season for the White Sox. The loss dropped the Red Sox to .500.  The White Sox look to continue their winning streak Monday against the Braves, at Hazel Park.
