Wed, 6 August, 8:00PM, at East Boston - Sartori Stadium
White Sox 5, Athletics 0
In a historic evening, Al Wiesner became the first player in the White Sox 10-year history to toss a no hitter. And in the same evening, with 13 K's, Wiesner also became the White Sox All-Time Strikeout King with 94. Wiesner was one batter away from a perfect game, as A's Mike Bolio reached via walk in the 3rd inning. The only threat was a line-drive to left field by Andrew Billig that was hauled in by a diving catch by Brett Rudy in the second inning.
Wiesner also knocked in the game-winning RBI in the first inning, knocking in Dan Field who tripled to lead-off the game.
Excitement also came in the 6th when the Sox scored 4 runs, keyed by a Nate Pane single, a John Howe RBI triple and a Mike Lembo 2-RBI single. Howe also scored on a suicide-squeeze by Mike McInnis that was called a balk.
Rob Sherman pitched well for the A's, adding 12 K's to his league lead in the category. |
