Today In White Sox History - June 17th

Fifty years ago today . . .


June 17th, 1961 - The pitching of Juan Pizarro and the hitting of third baseman Andy Carey led the White Sox to a 5- 1 win over the Minnesota Twins at Comiskey Park.  Pizarro struck out 7 and allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings.  Carey had three hits (2 doubles) and drove in three for the Sox. Reliever Warren Hacker's  scoreless 2 1/3 innings earned him his third save of the season.
