elrockinMT Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Friday, June 27, 2003 White Sox get out the broom in Ogden By Special to the Tribune -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OGDEN, Utah -- The Great Falls White Sox swept their Pioneer League series from the Ogden by outlasting the Raptors 7-4 Thursday night at Lindquist Field. It was a sweet way to open the new rivalry against Ogden, which became the Los Angeles Dodgers' farm club last September after the Dodgers dumped Great Falls -- which had supported the Dodgers for 19 years. Manager Chris Cron's White Sox improved to 6-3 in the Northern Division by winning four straight games from the Raptors. Ogden fell to 3-6. Great Falls gained a share of first place in the division, with Helena. The Brewers fell 8-6 to the Casper Rockies. The White Sox head south to Provo today to meet the Angels tonight. The teams also will play a double-header on Saturday, then Great Falls has two days off before opening a seven-game homestand on July 1. Jeremy Hudson, who pitched in an independent league last summer, started and hurled five effective innings to gain his first victory with the White Sox. The relief pitching wasn't quite as solid, and Cron had to bring in closer Ferny Hernandez to get the last three outs in the ninth. Hernandez got himself in some trouble, but a key double play and a strikeout ended the game as he picked up his second save. The White Sox staff issued four walks, had two hit batsmen and threw two wild picthes. The Raptors were unable to capitalize on many of the mistakes, strnading 12 baserunners on the night. Ogden grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first, but the White Sox tied the score in the second inning on Brandon Bounds' solo homer, then went ahead 2-1 on David Cook's infield single. Great Falls added two runs in the fourth as Micah Schnurstein, Matt Deuchler and Mike Myers had hits. The White Sox knocked starter David Cuen out of the game in the sixth inning, loading the bases. Myers drew a walk off reliever David Parker to make it 5-2, and another run scored on an infield out. A double by Ricardo Nanita and an infield grounder produced an insurance run in the ninth. Xavier Paul and Julio Gonzalez each had four base hits for the Raptors. First pitch: 7 p.m. tonight at BYU's Miller Park in Salt Lake City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
