While the White Sox completed a three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays this weekend, the White Sox farm system completed its most successful week in ages.
All four affiliates finished with a winning record, as Charlotte, Winston-Salem and Kannapolis all went 4-2 over their six-game series, and the Birmingham Barons did them one better by beating the Chattanooga Lookouts in five of six.
There'll be a more detailed look at the week that was in a Farm Fortnight post on Tuesday.
Charlotte 6, Lehigh Valley 3 (10 innings)
- Colson Montgomery went 2-for-5 with two doubles and a strikeout.
- Oscar Colás was 0-for-3 with two walks.
- Zach DeLoach, 1-for-5 with a K.
- Adam Hackenberg was 1-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts.
Highlights:
*The game ended on a Montgomery flip that appeared to be too slow, but the umpire thought otherwise:
The #Knights get the Sunday W, 6-3, but not without some help from the #UmpShow. Wow! What a call. You take those though. #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/X1vFfs3aMp
