The White Sox scored seven runs over the first two innings on Tuesday night en route to a fun 11-5 rout over the Diamondbacks. Munetaka Murakami continued his torrid rookie year by homering in his fourth consecutive game to run his total to nine. Fellow rookie Sam Antonacci collected his first MLB home run in the ninth inning and it came in the most unusual fashion.
The speedy lefty drove a ball down the third-base line and kept hustling even as it became clear that the ball person had interfered with the play. Antonacci simply did not stop and gained steam around second while Arizona left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. assumed an umpire would step in and rule this a ground rule double. By the time he realized the ball was still live it was too late to get Antonacci at the plate.
