Black Friday Jerseys .After Saturdays 5-4 win against the Braves, the White Sox (45-42) have won five of their last seven games and eight of their last 12. They are 9-5 in their last 14 contests at U.S. Cellular Field.Atlanta (30-58) will try to salvage the series after an 11-8 win over the White Sox in Fridays opener. The Braves are 2-4 on their trip and 17-24 away from home this season.Third baseman Todd Frazier has been a big reason for Chicagos recent success. Frazier has homered in back-to-back games and leads the team with 25 home runs before the break.The last two White Sox players with 25 home runs before the All-Star Game were Adam Dunn in 2012 and Jermaine Dye in 2006.I feel stronger, I feel more relaxed, a little quicker swing, Frazier said. For me, its hitting good pitches. I say this all the time, if Im swinging outside the zone, Im going to have some trouble. I feel really good at the plate right now.Right-hander James Shields (4-9, 5.67 ERA) will make his 18th start of the season and his seventh start with the White Sox. The 34-year-old is 2-0 with a 3.06 ERA in his last three starts after a miserable stint in which he went 0-3 with a 24.62 ERA in his previous four outings.Shields has not faced Atlanta this season. In his career against the Braves, he is 1-2 with a 4.24 ERA in four starts. He has allowed 24 hits, issued seven walks and struck out 24 batters in 23 1/3 innings.For the Braves, right-hander Mike Foltynewicz (2-3, 4.29 ERA) will make his ninth and final start before the All-Star break. The 24-year-old Foltynewicz never has faced the White Sox.Foltynewicz has been susceptible to the long ball. He allowed four home runs in five innings in his most recent start July 5 against Philadelphia, and he has given up 11 home runs in 42 innings this season.Braves catcher Tyler Flowers said Foltynewicz possessed terrific natural ability.Crazy arm, God given arm, said Flowers, who strained his left hand Saturday and is unlikely to play in the series finale. Hes got some of the best stuff Ive ever seen.Hes a guy where its a work in progress, working with his mentality, trying to get him to grow in that area to allow his talent to come out and work for him. The only time he gets in trouble is when he gets frustrated, he starts over throwing and gets flat in spots or falling behind guys.White Sox closer David Robertson probably will not be available for Sundays game because of a strained muscle in his upper left leg. Robertson sat out Saturday as fellow reliever Nate Jones recorded four outs to pick up his third save of the season.Doctors are saying a couple of days, so Im thinking right after the All-Star break, Ill be ready to roll, Robertson said.

HOUSTON -- In one of the most bizarre scenarios imaginable at a major sporting event, top-ranked Notre Dame and Louisiana-Lafayette switched venues in the middle of their hoops game due to a power outage.Even with the switch in venue and the delay, the Fighting Irish were too much for the Ragin Cajuns, winning 91-51 in a game that took nearly four hours to complete on Tuesday night.I thought we showed great resilience to battle through all the adversity we had, said Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw. The longest game in the history of womens basketball.The teams were playing at Houstons Campbell Center, in front of roughly 1,000 fans, when a power outage caused a long delay in the second quarter. After calling around to local schools, the rest of the contest was played at Rice University, about a 30-minute drive away from the original venue and also in Houston. The teams bused to Rice and picked up where they left off after a 2-hour, 35-minute delay. Notre Dame led 38-17 with 2:38 left in the second quarter.We had three options: play tomorrow, cancel or find a place to play tonight, McGraw said. I think both teams wanted to play the game. We got here, we wanted to finish it, and coming back tomorrow morning to finish it didnt seem as much fun.Rices arena was available, as the Rice womens basketball team also played on Tuesday night, against Grand Canyon.The Notre Dame-Louisiana-Lafayette game resumed at 10:11 p.m. local time with about 30 friends and family in attendance, as well as the Rice womens hoops squad. The visiting teams had a 10-minute warm-up and skipped halftime, taking just a brief break between the second and third quarters. The final 22-plus minutes of the contest took about 50 minutes to finish, making the total game time at Rice about an hour and a half.I think you have to relax a little bit, McGraw said about how Notre Dame stayed focus. The girls were able to unwind in the locker room. They were able to stay upbeat and positive. For them, this is primee time.

It was the coaches I was worried about falling asleep on the bench.Brianna Turner, a Houston native, had 16 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Fighting Irish.At the Campbell Center, it was very exciting when the lights went out, Turner said. I knew we thought we would be able to play there, but of course, we couldnt. It was so nice of Rice -- they played a game here too tonight -- to let us use their facilities and finish our game.The game was originally stopped when the lights in the arena shut off and a couple flashes of light could be seen behind loading dock doors in the corner of the arena. Emergency lights came on in the arena soon after. Both teams were sent to the locker rooms, with several pops and flashes heard and seen intermittently.Thats why I coach basketball -- because it is inside, and we dont have no rain delays or weather problems or anything like that, Louisiana-Lafayette coach Garry Brodhead said. I have never been to a game where we had to stop it, wait awhile, move venues, so I never even thought about it.The game was a homecoming for Turner, a junior forward who played high school basketball near Houston. McGraw had tried to get some of the local schools to play the Irish, but she couldnt pull it off, compelling her to play a neutral-site game against the Ragin Cajuns.The Notre Dame team had dinner at Turners house on Monday night.
