The White Sox won 3-2 in eleven innings..In 1983, when the White Sox finished the season with 99 wins, the team's record after 61 games was 29-32, which was only one win better than the 28-33 record the team had on the morning of June 15 this year. However, on June 15, 1983, when the Sox started the day 27-32, the team traded second baseman Tony Bernazard to Seattle for Julio Cruz.
