The Chicago White Sox are halfway to their first World Series title in 88 years.
Scott Podsednik is the toast of Chicago today. It was his dramatic ninth-inning home run that gave the Chicago White Sox a 7-to-6 win over Houston and a two games to none lead in the World Series. Eleven of the last 12 teams holding a 2-0 edge have gone on to win the Fall Classic.
Paul Konerko’s grand slam in the seventh inning had given White Sox a 6-to-4 lead. But Houston tied it on pinch-hitter Jose Vizcaino’s opposite-field single with two out. The series resumes Tuesday night in Houston.
