I just got back from the Great Falls game which the Sox won 3-2 in 11 innings. Christian Marrero crushed a 2 run homer to right in the 6th to give the White Sox a 2-1 lead at the time. That held up until the Owlz tied the game up with 2 outs in the 9th. The Sox were a strike away from winning the game in 9. Jim Gallagher made an outstanding game saving diving catch in the 10th inning. Right fielder Salvador Sanchez drove in the winning run with a 2 bagger in the top of the 11th. He had 3 hits (this guy can hit; he can run too). Al Woodson struck out 3 in the 11th for the Save. Great game, a lotta fun.

Defensively there were nice plays too by 3rd baseman C.J. Retherford, SS Greg Paiml and 2baseman Dale Mollenhauer.

 

Edit: Oh also at the start of the game they had a moment of silence for Mike Coolbaugh. Boy, did I get a lump in my throat and nearly cried.

Infante and Rojas pitched well.

 

It looks like Russell is pitching much better in relief. He has a shot at the bullpen next year. If he can beat out powerhouses Dewon Day and Buttvich

FIXED.

He's certainly got the arm to be a solid reliever, lets see if he can adjust to doing so.

FIXED.
