Chicago
(AL) 10 St. Louis (AL) (H) 5
The
White Sox offense has proven to be especially potent so far this season as this
game was no exception as Chicago piled on seven runs in the top of the ninth to
stage a come-from-behind victory. When the White Sox weren't hitting in the
fateful ninth the Browns weren't fielding the ball as well as two crucial
errors really opened the door. Fred
Olmstead (1-0, 5.00) got the win, Rollie
Zeider (3-for-5) continued his hot start and third baseman Lee
Tannehill drove in four runs with a 4-for-5 day.

unearned.

The

eighth, but in the bottom of the eighth first baseman Frank
