Pete Ward went deep in the 6th off Sonny Siebert and that line run stood up until the bottom of the 9th when Mgr Eddie Stanley chose to go for a double play (infield back) with runners on 1st and 3rd thus allowing the tying run to score. Top 11 the Chisox reverted to their old moniker of Go-Go-Sox as Tommy McCraw sped home from 1st with the winning run.
