White Sox help Boston United go undefeated in "pool play" at MSBL World Series The Boston United finished "regular season" pool play 4-0-1 at the MSBL World Series in Phoenix, Arizona to clinch 1st place in the Federal Division. Unfortunately, they lost in Round 1 of the playoffs to Sacramento. Four members of the White Sox made the roster: Nate Pane, Mike Lembo, Jason Ackerson and Brian Houlding. Lembo and Pane each pitched for 1 win. Offensively, Ackerson hit .400, while Nate Pane had a game-winning walk-off double versus the Chicago Hi-Tops. Brian Houlding pitched very limited, as his pitching arm was being saved for late playoffs games, which the United did not qualify for.
