GAME 7 - White Sox 6, Indians 1

Jorge_Orta_CHW For all the hype that these magical game 7's receive this one never once approached expectations.  After 4 innings the Chisox had a nice 4 run lead.  They posted 2 quick runs in the top of the 1st, when Jorge Orta hit a 2 run shot.  Orta struck again with an RBI single in the 2nd and Bill Melton hit his 3rd long ball of the series in the 3rd.  Bill Keller put his trust in Mudcat Grant and for that trust he got no reward.  Meanwhile Jim Kaat was goingJim_Kaat_CHW about his business posting goose eggs inning after inning.  in the top of the 6th the Pale Hose put it away when Carlos May singled home Pat Kelly, who led off the inning with a triple.  After a wild pitch by Grant, Ed Herrmann, who has been Chicago's MVP, singled home May to make it 6-0.  If you were watching at home you could have turned off your TV sets at this point and not missed a thing.    Ed_Herrmann_74Cleveland broke the shutout and the hearts of their fans in the bottom of the 9th as the Chisox celebrated the AL pennant on the Indians' home turf.  Congrats to Chisox manager Dan Holm, who won his first pennant after 7 seasons piloting Chicago.  Up next he will get to face Terry Priest and his 1951 Boston Braves for the World Championship.

White Sox win series 4 games to 3
