This Date In White Sox History - June 27th

 

June 27, 1958 - On a Friday night at Comiskey Park, White Sox pitcher Billy Pierce came within an out of a perfect game.  With two outs in the ninth inning, the Washington Senators pinch-hitter Ed Fitz Gerald doubled down the first base line.  Pierce shook off the missed perfect game as he struck out the next hitter to end the game as the White Sox win 3- 0.
