In the bottom of the ninth, down 3-2 to the Boston Americans, catcher <strong>Billy Sullivan <\/strong>and pinch-hitter <strong>Nixey Callahan <\/strong>singled, and Callahan stole second to put ducks on the pond. Facing Cy Young, who was aiming to complete the game and take home his 29th win on the season, center fielder <strong>Billy Hoy <\/strong>singled in both runs, for a walk-off win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1962<\/strong><br \/>\nWhite Sox pitcher and future Hall-of-Famer <strong>Early Wynn<\/strong> won his 299th career game, beating Washington, 6-3. Wynn threw a complete game, scattering nine hits with three strikeouts. It would be his last win of the the season, leaving him a win short of the 300-win milestone.<\/p>\n<p>He would get a spring training invite from Chicago for 1963, but was cut. But Cleveland, the team Wynn had pitched for earlier in his career, picked him up and he got his coveted 300th win on July 13, winning 7-4 at Kansas City.<\/p>\n<p>That 300th was Wynn\u2019s last win in the major leagues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1984 <\/strong><br \/>\nWith 30,511 fans showing up to see the White Sox lose, 6-5, to the Angels, the club pushed past two million fans for the second straight year. In 1983, the White Sox drew 2,132,821 fans, marking this as the first time in Chicago city history a club had back-to-back years of more than two million in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>This game pushed the White Sox to 2,024,093 in a season that would (barely) top the previous season, ending at 2,136,988 through the turnstiles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1993<\/strong><br \/>\nBreakout hurler <strong>Jason Bere<\/strong> tied a 73-year-old White Sox rookie record, with 13 strikeouts over eight innings of an 8-1 win against Boston. Bere tied righthander <strong>Frank Lange<\/strong>, who had a fairly brief run with the White Sox in the early 1910s.<\/p>\n<p>Also on this day, pitcher <strong>Doug Lindsey <\/strong>arrived in Chicago from the Phillies as the player to be named later for Donn Pall (sent to Philly on September 1).<\/p>\n<p><strong>2022<\/strong><br \/>\nWhite Sox third baseman <strong>Yo\u00e1n Moncada<\/strong> did something that had never been done before in the American League, as part of a 14-2 rout by the club over the A\u2019s in Oakland.<\/p>\n<p>Moncada went 5-for-5 with five RBIs for the second time in the season, which hadn\u2019t happened in the AL since RBIs became an official statistic in 1920. Moncada had two home runs and a double among his hits, and finished the game with 12 total bases.<\/p>\n<p>He did it the first time on June 15 against the Tigers, when he went 5-for-6 with five RBIs.<\/p>\n<p>Also in this game came back-to-back home runs leading the contest off by the White Sox. <strong>Elvis Andrus<\/strong> and Moncada both went deep off of J.P. Sears to start the rout.<\/p>\n<p>0 Comments<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The South Side sees two million fans for the second straight season<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":90099,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-90098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
