White Sox Minor League Update: Sept. 15, 2017

The Kannapolis Intimidiators came up two games short in their quest to win their first South Atlantic League Championship Series since 2005.

While they were able to come back from a three-run Greenville first to tie the game at 3 in the fourth, they had no answer for a five-run sixth. Hence, the Drive won the Sally League title with an 8-3 victory on Friday.

There were highlights, including:

• Alex Call’s solo shot over the mini Green Monster, and
• Evan Skoug’s solo blast to left center.

The loss leaves Great Falls as the last White Sox affiliate standing. The Voyagers need to win both of their remaining games to capture the Pioneer League.
