White Sox 5, Naps 4  (71-46)

The White Sox edged the Naps today after almost blowing a big lead.  Up 4-1, Nick Altrock gave up three runs in the eighth to tie it up.  Fortunately the Sox put a run on the board in the ninth to win it.  Pattsy Dougherty led off with a walk and he moved to third on Billy Sullivan’s single.  Lee Tannehill was hit by a pitch to load the bases up and then Ed Rohe knocked home Doughtery with a sac. fly.

Altrock picked up the win despite blowing the lead.  He gave up four runs on eleven hits in the game.
