Zisk enjoyed a big evening at the plate. He bombed a two-run dinger (his 3rd of the season) in the 1st inning, delivered a single in the 3rd inning, doubled scoring two baserunners in the 6th inning and delivered a one-base hit knocking in a run in the 7th inning. Chicago kept the pressure on throughout the contest as they scored in 6 different innings. The victory went to Knapp(1-0) who went the distance allowing 2 runs. Steve Hargan(0-1) was tagged with the loss. He allowed Chicago 7 runs in 6 innings of work. 'I just got in the box, looked for a pitch and swung,' Zisk said. 'That's it' [2] [1]SCORESHEET: 1977 Toronto Blue Jays at 1977 Chicago White Sox P.Garcia-A1 A1:Do *3*:Si C1:Si>13 D1:K E1:F/8 J.Mason-A1 A2:Sac/34 B2:G-DP/1 C2:SF/9>3 D2:L/3 >23 63>1o # A.Woods-A1 A3:SF/9>3 B3:F/8 C3:F/8 *8*:K # R.Fairly-A1 A4:G/43 *4*:F/7 *6*:G/13 D4:W>b1 D.Ault-A1 *2*:Si B5:Tr C5:K D5:Force/ 14>1o b1 S.Ewing-A1 A6:K B6:F/7 C6:W>b1 D6:G/31 D.McKay-A1 A7:K B7:K C7:P/3 *9*:Si+E/ 4 G.Woods-A1 A8:W>12 b *5*:K *7*:G/63 D8:L/3 1 A.Ashby-A1 A9:G/13 B9:Si C9:W>b1 D9:G/43>2 3 A.Bannis-A1 A1:Si B1:Si C1:G/63 D1:G/31 E1:Si>2# 13 R.Stillm-A1 A2:Bk>12 B2:Tr>1# C2:F/8 D2:Si E2:Si+E/3 G/43>23 >3# 13 J.Orta-A1 A3:P/3 B3:G/31 *5*:Si D3:W>12 b E3:G/63>3 1 # 23 R.Zisk-A1 A4:HR>3# *3*:Si C4:SB>12 D4:WP>23 E4:Si>3# b# G/43 12 Do>3# 2# J.Spence-A1 A5:Si B5:F/7 C5:K D5:G/31 E5:L/4 O.Gamble-A1 A6:Si>13 B6:F/9 C6:Si>2# *7*:K *8*:G/43 E.Soderh-A1 A7:F/9 B7:Tr>1# C7:Si>13 D7:W>b1 E7:FO/2 C.Lemon-A1 *2*:G/63 B8:F/9 C8:FO/2 D8:W>12 b E8:Si 1 J.Essian-A1 A9:G/63 *4*:F/8 *6*:G/53 D9:Si>2# E9:G/63 12 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 1 *** 0 P.Garcia 2- 4 2 Double b-2 0 2 J.Mason 6 Sac Bunt 2-3 b-0 1 3 A.Woods 5- 6 5 Sac Fly 3-H b-0 2 R.Fairly 5- 5 6 Ground Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 1 *** 0 A.Bannister 6- 7 3 3 Single b-1 0 1 R.Stillman 1 Balk 1-2 0 2 R.Stillman 4- 7 4 Ground Out 2-3 b-0 1 3 J.Orta 2- 3 3 Pop Out b-0 2 3 R.Zisk 6- 7 3 4 Home Run 3-H b-H 2 J.Spencer 5- 5 1 Single b-1 2 1 O.Gamble 5- 4 5 Single 1-3 b-1 2 1 3 E.Soderholm 6- 5 3 1 Fly Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 2 *** 0 D.Ault 4- 3 2 Single b-1 0 1 S.Ewing 6- 6 4 Strike Out b-0 1 1 D.McKay 5- 8 3 Strike Out b-0 2 1 G.Woods 6- 6 4 Walk 1-2 b-1 2 12 A.Ashby 4-12 5 Ground Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 2 *** 0 C.Lemon 5- 4 3 Ground Out b-0 1 J.Essian 2- 3 3 Ground Out b-0 2 A.Bannister 1- 8 2 3 Single b-1 2 1 R.Stillman 6- 7 4 2 Triple 1-H b-3 2 3 J.Orta 3- 6 2 Ground Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 3 *** 0 P.Garcia 5-11 1 Single b-1 0 1 J.Mason 2- 4 2 Ground Out Double Play 1-o b-0 2 A.Woods 3- 7 1 Fly Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 3 *** 0 R.Zisk 5-10 1 Single b-1 0 1 J.Spencer 6- 6 11 1 Fly Out b-0 1 1 O.Gamble 1- 4 1 Fly Out b-0 2 1 E.Soderholm 6- 6 4 6 Triple 1-H b-3 2 3 C.Lemon 6- 5 6 1 Fly Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 4 *** 0 R.Fairly 5- 9 3 Fly Out b-0 1 D.Ault 5-11 5 Triple b-3 1 3 S.Ewing 5- 9 2 Fly Out b-0 2 3 D.McKay 2- 7 4 Strike Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 4 *** 0 J.Essian 1- 4 3 Fly Out b-0 1 A.Bannister 3- 9 1 Ground Out b-0 2 R.Stillman 6- 8 16 2 Fly Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 5 *** 0 G.Woods 4- 8 3 Strike Out b-0 1 A.Ashby 3- 8 10 4 Single b-1 1 1 P.Garcia 6-11 1 Single 1-3 b-1 1 1 3 J.Mason 1-11 3 Sac Fly 3-H b-0 2 1 A.Woods 3- 7 6 Fly Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 5 *** 0 J.Orta 5- 6 4 Single b-1 0 1 1 Stolen Base 1-2 0 2 R.Zisk 4- 7 4 Ground Out b-0 1 2 J.Spencer 4- 8 5 Strike Out b-0 2 2 O.Gamble 4- 9 3 Single 2-H b-1 2 1 E.Soderholm 3- 7 6 Single 1-3 b-1 2 1 3 C.Lemon 1- 2 4 Foul Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 6 *** 0 R.Fairly 4-11 4 Ground Out b-0 1 D.Ault 5- 6 3 Strike Out b-0 2 S.Ewing 4- 4 6 Walk b-1 2 1 D.McKay 2- 8 3 Pop Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 6 *** 0 J.Essian 2- 8 2 Ground Out b-0 1 A.Bannister 6- 8 1 Ground Out b-0 2 R.Stillman 4- 9 5 Single b-1 2 1 J.Orta 4- 5 6 Walk 1-2 b-1 2 12 R.Zisk 1 Wild Pitch 2-3 1-2 2 23 R.Zisk 6- 4 5 Double 3-H 2-H b-2 2 2 J.Spencer 1- 9 6 Ground Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 7 *** 0 G.Woods 3- 3 3 Ground Out b-0 1 A.Ashby 3- 6 5 Walk b-1 1 1 P.Garcia 4- 8 6 Strike Out b-0 2 1 J.Mason 1- 3 4 Line Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 7 *** SUBSTITUTE P - Jerry Johnson 0 O.Gamble 1- 9 3 Strike Out b-0 1 E.Soderholm 3- 9 6 Walk b-1 1 1 C.Lemon 4- 6 4 Walk 1-2 b-1 1 12 J.Essian 3- 9 5 Single 2-H 1-2 b-1 1 12 A.Bannister 1-10 1 Single 2-H 1-3 b-1 1 1 3 R.Stillman 4-11 3 Single & Error - 1B 3-H 1-3 b-2 1 23 J.Orta 3- 5 5 Ground Out 3-H 2-3 b-0 2 3 R.Zisk 6- 4 6 Single 3-H b-1 2 1 J.Spencer 2- 6 15 4 Line Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 8 *** 0 A.Woods 4- 8 4 Strike Out b-0 1 R.Fairly 4- 7 5 Walk b-1 1 1 D.Ault 4- 2 1 Force Play 1-o b-1 2 1 S.Ewing 3- 4 3 Ground Out b-0 [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 8 *** 0 O.Gamble 5- 5 5 Ground Out b-0 1 E.Soderholm 4-10 1 Foul Out b-0 2 C.Lemon 6- 8 11 3 Single b-1 2 1 J.Essian 5- 5 1 Ground Out b-0 [1]*** TOP OF INNING 9 *** 0 D.McKay 6- 5 3 Single & Error - 2B b-2 0 2 G.Woods 1- 8 1 Line Out b-0 1 2 A.Ashby 4- 3 5 Ground Out 2-3 b-0 2 3 P.Garcia 2- 5 3 Fly Out b-0
