Game Summary  AAA Division
White Sox vs Braves  - June 11, 2002
Braves 8 - White Sox 7
 

This was the rescheduled game from 5/18. The White Sox put up huge effort to play the spoiler for the Braves. This game was well played and no team was able to get a larger than 3 run lead. The Braves fought back from a 6-3 deficit in the bottom of the forth to tie it. In the bottom of the fifth, the Braves were able to squeeze a run in to take a 7-6 lead.

But the White Sox fought back scoring the tying run, but leaving the tie-breaking run on third. The Braves then had Mark Cosgrove lead off the bottom of the sixth with a base hit and a couple of extra bases on an overrun of the ball in the outfield. Justin Chisholm won the game with a base hit up the middle to score Mark Cosgrove from third.

With this victory the Braves clinched the AAA TOC berth. The White Sox fought for every inch and improved throughout the season. My hat is off for the improvement and no-quit attitude that the White Sox have showed this year. The Braves were fortunate to get a victory out of!
 this game.
