White Sox 1, Marlins 0
In dramatic extra frames, the White Sox scored first to defeat the Marlins 1-0 in walk-off style in the deciding Game 3 of the Atlantic Conference Semifinals.
Al Wiesner of the White Sox was masterful, pitching 8 shutout innings, allowing only 2 hits, 2 walks and striking out 8. For the Marlins, Neil Doherty was almost as masterful, shutting out the White Sox for 7 innings, allowing only 3 hits, 2 walks and striking out 4.
In the bottom of the 8th, all with no outs, Jim Baldyga reached on a misperceived fly ball to left. Dan Field then walked. Hiro then entered for the Marlins (his 3rd outing in 3 games), relieving Doherty, and walked John Howe to load the bases. Nate Pane then delivered a clean single to drive in Baldyga to lead the Sox to victory and send them to the Atlantic Conference Finals versus the Royals. |
