interlude #2
In the agate type on a sidebar on page nine of the Chicago Sun Times' sports section:
Chicago (A) 2
New York (A) 3 (11)
Former White Sox farmhand Kris Honel tossed six shutout innings as the Yankees defeated the Pale Hose three to two in Pomegranate League play on Monday. Chicago prospect Ryan Wing walked four batters but fanned six and allowed just one run in five innings, a solo home run to Bronson Sardinha. New York added another run in the seventh off of Rick Ankiel to push their lead to two, but the Sox tied the game up in the next half-frame when Ramon Vazquez doubled home a pair of runners. However, he was thrown out trying to steal third, and Chicago failed to get another runner after that. After a pair of eleventh-inning singles, Hector Gimenez hit a fly ball to left deep enough to plate Bronson Sardinha to end the game in New York's favor. Righthander T.J. Beam, who pitched two scoreless innings, was credited with the win and Eric Cyr took the loss. Chicago will conclude their exhibition action with a game later in the week against their cross-town rivals.
