Ibanez and Safeco Joe Lead Mariners to Win Over the White Sox
Mariner manager Eric Wedge called it the best at bat of the year. Raul Ibanez said he was just trying to keep fighting. After falling behind in an 0-2 count, Ibanez stayed alive to hit a home-run on the 13th pitch of his third inning at bat. It was the most pitches a Mariner batter has seen before homering since 1988. Ibanez' two-run homer led the M's to a 4-2 win over the Chicago White Sox.
