Scott Podsednik is regarded as one of the fastest players in the game of baseball. His speed was on full display on Saturday as he helped the Chicago White Sox run past the Los Angeles Angels by a final count of 4-3.
In the third inning, Scott Podsednik hit an inside the park home run to put the White Sox up 2-0. In the tenth inning, Podsednik was able to score on a wild pitch to break a 3-3 tie.
“What I bring to the table is my ability to run,” said Podsednik, “so it’s always nice to round the bases like that.”
On the season, Podsednik is hitting .307 with six homers, 45 RBIs and 68 runs. His speed has also helped him swipe 27 steals this season.
The win by the White Sox brought them to one game of .500. They trail the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central by five games and would need a great finish to make the 2009 playoffs.
The Angels, on the other hand, lead the Texas Rangers by 5.5 games in the AL West. At 85-56, only the New York Yankees have a better record in all of the MLB.
