14Using small ball techniques, Will Venable's team played for one run and scored three times in the 6th inning against Houston today. </p><p>The White Sox had two hitters reach by taking bases on balls. Next the runners executed a double steal while the batter was attempting to bunt. After squaring up, the batter pulled his bat back as the runners stole second and third base. </p><p>The rattled Astros' pitcher served up a home run afterwards to the batter who had been instructed to bunt earlier in the same at bat. </p><p>Good use small ball techniques because these tactics work and often yield more than one run. </p></div></div> <div class="_6d56lo1"><button
