Quentin leads Sox's clutch hitting revival

"Entering the ninth inning of Wednesday's game, the Chicago White Sox were headed toward their third consecutive loss.

And from the start of Sunday's 7-1 loss through the first eight innings of Wednesday's game, the Sox were only 3 for 23 with runners in scoring position. That included an 0 for 6 effort heading into the ninth.

But the Sox performed one of their most remarkable sequences of hitting during the Ozzie Guillen era. Against formidable closer Joakim Soria, the Sox put together four hits and a walk to score four runs off Soria.

The most impressive hits during the rally were Paul Konerko's single down the right field line in which he fouled off three consecutive pitches before getting the clutch hit.

After fouling off a pitch and taking a called strike that he didn't agree with, Carlos Quentin ripped a two-run double to the gap in left center. In addition to hitting a home run in the eighth, Quentin started the Sox's three-run rally in the 12th with a double."
