In their 3rd attempt in a week, the White Sox finally prevailed as MABL Champions, their first time achieving the feat. Dave Martin was masterful on the mound, tossing a complete game and allowing just 3 hits. Offensively, the White Sox exploded from the get-go. Al Wiesner led off the game with a single and scored. Will Bissonnette was hit by a pitch and Nate Pane walked, and they both scored off some Reds miscues. The Sox just continued to pound, chasing starter Chris Allen out of the game in the 4th inning with a 5-0 lead. The Sox smashed out 6 more runs off 6 hits in the 6th inning and another run for good measure in the 7th inning. The White Sox joined the league in 1994, and this marked their first time as MABL Champions. The longest wait for a Sox ring: Brett Rudy (11 years, since 1995), Al Wiesner (5 years, since 2001) and Mike Lembo (4 years, since 2000). Cap tipped to the Reds for a great series.

Brian Houlding pitched the White Sox back to a 1-1 series tie versus the Rangers, allowing just 1 hit going into the 7th inning. In the first two innings, Kyle Michaud already had a pair of sacrifice flies that would give the Sox all the runs they would need. Yet, with the Sox leading 5-0 going into the 7th inning, the Rangers rallied. Chad Besegai reached on error to lead off the inning, followed by O'Donnell, Bristol and Bradesca singles. So with the bases leaded, the tying run at the plate and zero outs, Houlding fought back to retire the next 3 batters and secure the win. White Sox offense was led by Nate Pane who slugged a pair of triples and Dave Martin also ripped a pair of RBI singles. Shane Steffens started for the Rangers and went 3 innings to take the loss.

Doherty and Defense led the Marlins to victory over the White Sox Monday night at Chelsea High. Despite donning a complete uniform, The Chancellor had his best stuff going, scattering four singles and allowing only an unearned run over the first six innings before finally running into trouble in the seventh. Offensively, the Fish got all they needed in the five run fifth when Tim Sheflin and Andy Katz delivered back-to-back two out, two run base hits. The balanced attack saw seven different Fish score a run. The D did the rest of the work in support of Doherty, and ended the game when a Steve Mellor-Mike Mori relay throw gunned down a run at the plate. Jason Skypeck turned in a nice performance for the Fish, going 1-2 with an RBI, HBP, and a run scored, and also gunned down a would-be basestealer in the third.

The White Sox win thanks to a wacky play. In the top of the 3rd inning, Nate Pane walked to lead off. Al Wiesner was then HBP. After a wild pitch, runners advanced to 2nd and 3rd. Then the crazy happened. Ivan Clemente struck out, but the ball got away. Instead of throwing to first base to get Clemente, the Padres catcher threw to 3rd to try to pick off Pane. It almost worked, as Pane got into a rundown. But after a few back and forth throws, the ump called interference on the Padres shortstop who was obstructing the baseline and Nates effort back to 3rd. This allowed Pane to score and no outs to be recorded. Jason Hoye then followed with a 2-RBI single to make the score 3-0, the ultimate difference in the game.

In 87 degree heat, the Sox faced off against the Mariners in Game 2 of their doubleheader. The Mariners jumped out to a quick lead when Alan Donaruma led off the game with a single. Jamie Aldoupolis followed with another single and then Jason LaPointe singled in Donaruma. That run and those 3 hits would be all White Sox pitcher Nate Pane would allow. Nate Pane tossed the complete game victory, allowing just 3 first inning hits and a run, striking out 9. In the 4th inning, the White Sox scored 2 runs and all they would need. Will Bissonnette singled and Jason Hoye reached via error. Ivan Clemente then singled in Bissonnette and Dave Martin singled in Hoye. The additional runs in the final 3 frames proved unneeded insurance.

Nate Pane tosses complete game victory.
