White Sox 4, Naps 3  (38-31)

The White Sox never trailed in this game, although the Naps definitely made it close.  The Sox took a 2-0 lead in the first, and the Browns answered with two in the second inning.  The White Sox scored one in the third, but once again, the Naps tied it up with a single run in the fourth.  It wasn’t until the seventh inning that the White Sox finally had enough to win the game.

Frank Smith held the Naps to three runs on nine hits.  Frank Isbell had two hits and a run while George Davis singled twice.  Ed Hahn tripled and scored a run.
