Now the White Sox will try to avoid a sweep in Seattle when the series shifts to Safeco Field on Friday. “We don’t want to get in a slugging match with the White Sox,” Alex Rodriguez said Wednesday af ter Seattle’s 5-2 victory. “I don't know if it’s them struggling or we’re making our pitches,”. The win featured 3 1/3 hitless innings by Mariner relievers, a go-ahead homer by Jay Buhner and su perb defensive play by Mark McLemore. It all puts the White Sox, owners of the AL’s best record, on the verge of an early exit. “Right now, obviously, we’re in some trouble,” Chicago manager Jerry Manuel said. “I think if any team can do it, we can. We won 95 games and feel we can find a way to win three more.” But to have any chance of winning just one game, the White Sox must start hitting the ball, especially with runners in scoring position — they are just 3- for-23 in the first two games. Seattle’s bullpen has allowed just three hits in 10 scoreless innings over the first two games, starting with 6 2/3 innings of shutout ball in Tuesday’s 7-4 victory. Paul Abbott gave up five hits and two runs over 5 2-3 innings Wednesday to win in his first postsea son appearance in a pro career that began in 1985. Relievers Arthur Rhodes, Jose Mesa and Kazuhi- ro Sasaki did not allow a hit the rest of the way. Sasaki struck out the side in the ninth for his sec ond save of the series. "The bullpen has been lights out," Abbott said. “You go out there and know you have three or four guys who are going to shut them down.” The White Sox stranded eight runners, giving them 18 in the first two games. Frank Thomas was 0-for-4 Wednesday and is hitless in seven series at-bats. Chicago’s 3-4-5 hitters—Thomas, Magglio Or donez and Carlos Lee — were a combined 0-for-9 Wednesday after going 2-for-13 in the opener. “We’re not surprised. But we also know they could turn it on at any minute,” Rhodes said. “I sense they are pressing somewhat. Obviously, what they need is a bloop hit and not a home run,” Manuel said of his fioundering middle hitters. “It seems with all the fly balls and popups, we are prob ably going about it the wrong way. We should be hit ting a few more ground balls and line drives.” The Mariners won eight of their final nine road games in the regular season, including a wild card- clinching win at Anaheim last Sunday. And nowit have carried it over into the postseason. “We made it interesting and tough on ourseli down the stretch,’’Buhner said. Those games seem: like playoffs games. Definitely that helped. The White Sox have lost nine straight postseav. home games since beating Los Angeles in Gat of the 1959 World Series. Thomas, an MVP candidate who hit 43 horn and drove in 143 runs during the season, came with runners at first and second in the seventhts tlied out against Mesa for the second out. Mesai fleeted Ordonez’s shot through the box. McLemore made a spectacular diving stop.

After another ISU timeout, the Aggies increased their lead, then end ed the game with a kill from Skypala. Marshall said that it is sometimes difficult to get pumped up for a match against a less-skilled team. “We went out there with a lot of spirit tonight,” she said. “It w, of fun.
