Jim Thome hits a home run in the 7th that lands somewhere in Indiana and Griffey throws out Mike Cuddyer in the fifth at the plate. It was a pitcher's duel with John Danks getting the win in what was a great 1-0 game. For you soccer fans out there, Thome didn't really hit the ball to Indiana. That was just a way of saying it went very very far.CHICAGO -- With most of the 40,354 in attendance at U.S. Cellular Field sporting dark colors, the White Sox got their "Sox Pride" blackout as requested.
Through the immense power of Jim Thome and a spectacular start from John Danks, the White Sox then proceeded to turn the blackout into the knockout punch delivered to Minnesota in a well-played, exciting 1-0 victory over the Twins during a tiebreaker to decide the American League Central title. Ozzie Guillen's crew claimed its second division title in four years and will face Tampa Bay in the American League Division Series, with Game 1 starting at 1:30 p.m. CT Thursday at Tropicana Field.

No question Junior's throw was a good one--strong and on target. But Pierzinski's block was just classic. If I were coaching Little League I'd save the tape to show young catchers just how to get that job done . . . .
