Spring Game #2: Small ball, Piscotty’s home run lead A’s to first spring victory

On a sunny and clear Saturday afternoon, the Oakland A’s won their first real home game of the spring over the Chicago White Sox by a final score of 6-5. The comeback victory was Oakland’s first win of Spring Training.

Chicago jumped out to an early 1-0 lead when Daniel Palka hit a bloop double in the first inning off A’s starter Chris Bassitt. Oakland answered right back, as Ramon Laureano hit a laser into the left-center field gap for a double and came around to score on a soft line drive single to center by Matt Olson.
