What appeared to be cold bats on a chilly spring day, things suddenly got hot when Jon Studniarz hit his first career grand slam to lead the White Sox to a 5-1 victory over the Braves in the season opener.  Trailing 1-0 in the third inning, Ethan Czub (1-2, 1 run) started the rally with a single after David Rus had a great at bat, but went down swinging.  With two outs, the White Sox were determined to get on the board.  Back to back hits by Matthew McDermott (1-3, 1 run)  and Jack Moran (2-3, 1 run) set the table for Jon Stundniarz's (1-2, 1 run, 4 RBI) "Grand Salami".  The Sox bat's continued to stay hot as Nathan Vogt (1-3, 1 run) singled and Joey Fischer (2-3, 1 run, 1 RBI) tripled to knock in the White Sox's 5tth and final run.  Matt "Slats" Slattery (1-3) also contributed to the offensive attack with a hit.

 

While the offense put the runs on the board, the White Sox pitching had a superb outting to keep the Braves in check.  Jack Moran, Grady Travis, Matt Slattery, and Dylan Godomski combined for 13 K's and only gave up 4 hits to pave the way to victory.
