White Sox 2, Braves 0
Brian Houlding tossed his 2nd complete-game shutout of the season, the first MABL pitcher to do so this season, as the White Sox defeated the Braves 2-0. Overall, he allowed just 3 hits and 3 walks while striking out 9.
However, Chris Allen was almost as effective for the Braves, as he carried a no-hitter into 7th inning before Eamonn McDonough and John Howe reached on consecutive base hits. Allen allowed 2 hits and 8 walks while striking out 11.
It was 4 of those 8 walks from Allen in the 4th inning that made the game. Matt Giblin walked and scored on a Jim Baldyga FC. And Baldyga scored on a walk to Dan Field. And that was the game right there. |
