The Chicago Black Sox strike for three runs in the 8th to break a scoreless stalemate and added an insurance run in the 9th to ensure the series win. Trops reliever Gheorghe Sollomovici made his 3rd appearance of the series and it may have been costly for Hawaii. He gave up three runs in just 2/3 of an inning before being removed from the game and took the loss.
The offense was shit. Again.
Chicago wins the series 3-1 and split the season series with Hawaii 4-4.
