Jon Naumowicz hits a 2-out, 2-run walk-off single as the White Sox take a wild first game 7-6. Anthony Tomaro gave up 1 hit over 6 innings while striking out 6 before the wheels fell off for the Sox in the top of the 7th. In the bottom of the 7th, Ivan Clemente broke up a game ending double-play with a nasty baseball slide into second. Mike Pollak drove a liner off Brett Nowlin's (losing pitcher) leg to drive in the 5th run. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, Jon Naumowicz, in typical Naumo fashion, singled over 3rd base to score the tying and winning runs. League MVP Jon Pollard picked up the win despite struggling in the 7th. Mike Lembo had a 2-run single off starter David Callaghan to put the Sox up 3-0. Nate Butcher was 2-3 with a Run. Mike Pollak was 2-4 with an RBI and 2 Runs. Jon Naumowicz was 2-4 with a Run and 2 RBI.
