The Royals jumped out to a 1st inning lead when Scott Reinhold led of the game with a HBP, followed by a Greg Kosc single. Reinhold later scored on a Jason Lewis sac fly, and Kosc scored on a single by Tom Spoth. As it turns out, that is all the support pitcher Jason Kurtz would need to win the game. Kurtz pitched a complete game 3 hitter, with the only White Sox run scoring when Al Wiesner hit a bomb that bounced off the top of the fence at Billings Field for a triple. He later scored via error. The Royals tacked on 4 insurance runs in the 7th inning off 3 hits, a walk and 2 Sox errors -- capped by a Tom Spoth double (his 2nd double of the day). Game 2 of the 3 game series will be Sunday morning.

In dramatic extra frames, the White Sox scored first to defeat the Marlins 1-0 in walk-off style in the deciding Game 3 of the Atlantic Conference Semifinals. Al Wiesner of the White Sox was masterful, pitching 8 shutout innings, allowing only 2 hits, 2 walks and striking out 8. For the Marlins, Neil Doherty was almost as masterful, shutting out the White Sox for 7 innings, allowing only 3 hits, 2 walks and striking out 4. In the bottom of the 8th, all with no outs, Jim Baldyga reached on a misperceived fly ball to left. Dan Field then walked. Hiro then entered for the Marlins (his 3rd outing in 3 games), relieving Doherty, and walked John Howe to load the bases. Nate Pane then delivered a clean single to drive in Baldyga to lead the Sox to victory and send them to the Atlantic Conference Finals versus the Royals.

The White Sox evened the Atlantic Semi's at 1-1 with a victorious battle over the Fish. The Sox struck right away when Mike McInnis and Al Wiesner walked to start off the game and scored on a wild pitch and a Joe Lombardi sac fly. The M's brought it back to 2-1 when Tim Sheflin singled and scored. But when 5 straight Sox reached in the 5th, it proved enough. Down 5-3 in the bottom of the 7th, the Marlins scored 1 run on an error. Then with the tying and winning run on base, Eamonn McDonough finished what he started and forced a flyout to Joe Lombardi to end the game and pick up the win. Noteworthy: Dating back to the regular season, Mike McInnis has reached in 15 of 16 PA's (6 for 7 with 9 walks).

The Marlins took the early advantage in the best of three conference semi finals with a 6-1 victory over the White Sox at Cleveland Circle. Hiro Nakamura was in postseason form, going the distance for the Fish when they needed it most. Hiro scattered five hits and struck out 6, while keeping the Sox off balance with a deceptive delivery. The Marlins got all of the offense they would need in the 3rd, when Andy Katz scored on an error, and Chris Ryan doubled in Adam Etherington before scoring himself. Katz later added some insurance in the 5th with an RBI single. Dan Field stood out behind the plate for the White Sox, gunning down two would be Marlin base stealers.

The White Sox won their 9th game in their last 10, and in doing so clinched at least second place in the Atlantic Conference. In this game, the strong arm of Al Wiesner led the way. Wiesner improved to 4-0, tossing a complete game while allowing only 5 hits and 2 walks with 9 K's. The Braves took an early 1-0 lead when Chris Allen singled in the 2nd inning and later scored. But the Sox battled back, scoring 2 runs in the bottom of the frame. It began when Wiesner walked, stole two bases, and then scored on an error. Then Luke Foskett singled, stole and scored on a wild pitch. The 5 additional runs scored throughout the game would just prove to be insurance. Mike McInnis for the Sox and Jon Danielson for the Braves each reached safely in all 3 of their plate appearances.

In dramatic fashion, the White Sox walked off with the win in the bottom of the 8th inning. With the score tied 4-4 and one out in the bottom of the 8th, John Howe ripped a clutch single. After Dan Field was hit by a pitch and Al Wiesner walked, the bases were loaded for Luke Foskett. With the Royals infield in, Foskett hit a rope to Matt Marenghi at 3rd base who fielded the ball and threw home, just enough off the mark for Howe to score the winning run.

In a historic evening, Al Wiesner became the first player in the White Sox 10-year history to toss a no hitter. And in the same evening, with 13 K's, Wiesner also became the White Sox All-Time Strikeout King with 94. Wiesner was one batter away from a perfect game, as A's Mike Bolio reached via walk in the 3rd inning. The only threat was a line-drive to left field by Andrew Billig that was hauled in by a diving catch by Brett Rudy in the second inning. Wiesner also knocked in the game-winning RBI in the first inning, knocking in Dan Field who tripled to lead-off the game. Excitement also came in the 6th when the Sox scored 4 runs, keyed by a Nate Pane single, a John Howe RBI triple and a Mike Lembo 2-RBI single. Howe also scored on a suicide-squeeze by Mike McInnis that was called a balk. Rob Sherman pitched well for the A's, adding 12 K's to his league lead in the category.

Shanahan allowed no runs, only 3 hits and no walks with 10 K's in this complete game shutout. All the game's scoring for the Giants occurred in the bottom of the 3rd inning. After a leadoff walk to Steve Coyle, Joe Albano and Steve Corda hit consecutive RBI-doubles. After Corda advanced to third on a wild pitch, he scored on a Jason Grenier sacrifice fly. For the White Sox, Brian Houlding pitched solid as well, allowing only 4 hits and 2 walks with 7 K's in his complete game, but took the tough loss.

In a pitcher's dual, the White Sox' Brian Houlding outdualed D'backs' Jeff Cain. Both carried 2-hitters deep into the game. But in the sixth inning, the Sox exploded for 4 runs off singles by Mike McInnis (2 for 3), Mike Lembo (1 for 3) and Eamonn McDonough (2 for 3) and a sac fly by Luke Foskett. Houlding picked up his first win shrinking his ERA to 1.67. His 10 K's was enough to put him into second place in the MABL at 32. The D'backs Cain held his own for a CG, recording 9 K's and shifting his record to 1-1 -- both decisions versus the White Sox. For the D'backs, Jeremy Broadwell and Leigh Zancewicz picked up the two sole hits. The 2-hit shutout by Brian Houlding was the White Sox shutout versus the D'backs since August 5, 2001. Ironically, the White Sox also won that game 4-0. Of note, Brett Rudy ended his consecutive games-played streak at 144 games, a Boston MABL record stretching across 7 seasons.

Houlding vs. Cain -- scoreless into 6th inning.

It's all a blur: Houlding shuts out D'backs.
