The White Sox jumped out to a quick lead scoring 4 runs in the first inning, capped by a 3-run homerun by Joe Lombardi.
In the 4th inning, singles by Dan field (2 for 4), Mike McInnis (1 for 2) and a double by Jim Baldyga (2 for 3) brought the score to 6-0. By the end of the 5th inning, the Sox had increased the lead to 9-0 after singles by Jason Ackerson (1 for 2), Mike Lembo (2 for 3), John Howe (1 for 1), Roger Malouf (2 for 4) and a sacrifice fly from Eamonn McDonough.
