September 13, 20232 yr September 13, 1967 - In one of the longest games in franchise history and in the middle of a four-team pennant race, the Sox shut out Cleveland 1-0 in 17 innings! (Now that’s pitching!) The game lasted over four and a half hours and was finally finished when Rocco “Rocky” Colavito singled to right driving home Charles “Buddy” Bradford. One other note from this game, Sox starter Gary Peters allowed one hit in 11 innings, striking out seven…he also walked 10! (I wonder what his pitch count was!) Don McMahon, the fourth Sox pitcher picked up the relief win. September 13, 1987 - In a game in Seattle, Sox pitcher Floyd Bannister fired a one-hitter in winning 2-0. Harold Reynolds two out single to left in the first inning was the only base runner on the night for Seattle and ironically, he was thrown out trying to stretch the hit to a double! Bannister faced the minimum 27 hitters and struck out 10. Mariners’ pitcher Mark Langston only allowed two hits but both were solo home runs by Pat Keedy and Donnie Hill. September 13, 2004 - Due to hurricane Ivan, U.S. Cellular Field hosted the first two games of a series between Montreal and Florida. It was the first time a National League team played a regular season ‘home’ game in an American League park since 1946.
