StatManDu Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 THIS DATE IN WHITE SOX HISTORY: JUNE 12 www.whitesoxalmanac.com 1975: Jim Kaat went the distance in a snappy 2 hour and 3 minutes in the White Sox 9-2 win over Boston before 5,944 at Comiskey Park. Kaat gave up 11 hits and one walk with three strikeouts in improving to 9-3. 1977: Aggressive baserunning by Chet Lemon helped the White Sox sink the Orioles 6-4 in Baltimore. Lemon led off the 11th with a walk, stole second, took third on an error and scored on a wild pitch. Lemon forced overtime with a two-run homer in the sixth, which tied the game at 4. Lerrin LaGrow got the win but it was Bart Johnson who was the bullpen’s savior. Johnson tossed 4.1 innings of scoreless relief with five strikeouts while the “Hitmen” climbed back into the game.
