Game 2 Recap - White Sox Nation Digs the Long Ball

The White Sox carried the momentum of their opening day victory over the Braves into their Sunday afternoon match-up against the upstart Diamondbacks. The Sox prevailed 15-6 behind dominant starting and relief pitching and an electric offense.

Lawrence "Cadillac" Gilliam got start on the mound for the White Sox and worked 3 shut out innings with 6 strikeouts and 3 walks. He was followed in relief by Jordan "Big Man" Strong and Robert "Big Rob" Togia.

The Diamondbacks countered with Zach Ramzy and Josh Calcote, who perplexed White Sox batters with a sneaky circle change-up.

White Sox bats were in mid-season form.

Jibri "J-Breezy" Walden was 3-3 with 2 doubles and 2 RBIs in the game.

Lawrence Gilliam (1-3 with 3 RBIs) and Grant Craddolph (1-3 with 3 RBIs) both went deep for their first home runs of the year.

Kaelin Woodard was 2-4 with a double and 3 RBIs. He was also a terror on the base paths.

Devin Martin also went 2-2 with an RBI in the game.

Defensively, the Sox were lead by third baseman Kaelin Woodard who made several Web Gem plays in the field.

Devin Martin had a solid day in center field.

Jordan Strong continued to progress at first base, recording one out with his bare hands.

Grant Craddolph and Jibri Walden were stellar behind the plate.

Outfielders, Dominic Vasquez, Quentin Collier, and Mathew Hamilton patrolled the field like veterans, rotating to back up throws and hitting their cut-offs.

The win takes the Sox to 2-0 on the young season and places them alone atop the standings.
