Blizzard of late hits blows White Sox down, 9-7
When the Opening Day fireworks burned off, the snow began to swirl.
When the snow slowed, bitter cool seeped in.
And by the end of the game, there was plenty of both, snow and cold.
It was a second successive Chicago White Sox opener played in football weather, and decided by a football score. This time around, however, that score was not in the Good Guys’s favor.
White Sox relievers Greg Infante and Aaron Bummer were helpless to stave off the dreaded single-walk-sac fly-fielder’s choice-single offense, letting two Detroit Tigers score in the top of the 10th, resulting in a 9-7 White Sox loss in Chicago’s home opener.
