 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Same inning. Same count. Same location. Same quick start. Paul Konerko's repeat performance helped the Chicago White Sox move within one victory of their first World Series since 1959.
Konerko homered in the first inning for the second straight game to get the Chicago White Sox rolling and they coasted to an 8-2 win Saturday night for a 3-1 lead over the Los Angeles Angels in the AL championship series.
On Friday night, Konerko had a two-run homer in the opening inning as Chicago also scored three runs en route to a 5-2 victory. On Saturday night, he delivered a three-run shot. In both games, first base was open, but the Angels decided to pitch to Chicago's top run producer.
