Browns White Sox battle to five five draw at Kokernot Field
A near capacity crowd of 4159 watched the Chicago White Sox and the St. Louis Browns play to a 5-5 tie in eight and a half innings at Kokernot field. Ostrowski’s ninth inning homer was nullified as the game ended. Demars and Lenhardt hit key home runs with Kokernot offering bonuses, and Ostrowski scored on Demars’ homer as the Browns tied the game in the eighth. The Browns led early, Chicago tied in the third, and a late eighth inning surge produced the final count. Fans from San Angelo and nearby towns attended.
