The White Sox managed to get on the board first with Korey Lee homering to left in the 3rd inning. We quickly answered back with Jurickson Profar hitting a solo homer in the bottom of the same inning. But another homer by Miguel Vargas in the 6th put the Sox ahead 2-1.Clutch 8th Inning Comeback! 
The 8th inning was pure magic for us! Donovan Solano doubled to left and was replaced by Tyler Wade as a pinch runner. Then, Luis Arraez came in as a pinch hitter and doubled to left, bringing Wade home to tie the game. Brandon Lockridge came in as a pinch runner, advanced to third on a wild pitch, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jurickson Profar. Fernando Tatis Jr. then smashed a homer to left center, giving us that crucial insurance run. Locking It Down in the 9th!
