Ward Drives Sox to 5-2 Win as Rookie Pete Ward Shines
CHICAGO The White Sox push Pete Ward for Rookie of the Year honors as the 23-year-old third baseman stars in a 5-2 victory over the Yankees. Ward belts his ninth homer tying the game, extends an 18 game hitting streak, singles, sacrifices, and walks for a perfect night. He sits at .308 with 42 RBIs and is praised by manager Al Lopez as a future great hitter. Ward's homer came off Al Downing, part of a White Sox blockbuster trade with Baltimore that brought Ward and others for Louis Aparicio. Metro had urged Ward as a future No. 4 hitter, and Lopez notes the kid battles every pitcher and stays in against all comers.
