| CHICAGO (AP) -- Paul Konerko was on his knees in the dirt, still dizzy from being hit in the head by Kerry Wood's curveball. But when Chicago White Sox manager Jerry Manuel asked if he wanted to stay in the game, it wasn't even a question. Cubs catcher Joe Girardi, left, checks the White Sox's Paul Konerko after Konerko was hit in the head during the fourth inning. Good thing. Konerko homered twice after getting plunked, and the White Sox rallied from an 8-0 deficit Friday to beat the crosstown rival Chicago Cubs 13-9 in front of the largest regular-season crowd at new Comiskey Park. "I've been hit harder than that in the hands,'' said Konerko, who had a goose egg on the left side of his head after the game. "You know yourself that you're fine. I wasn't really adamant. It was just, 'I'm not coming out of the game. I'm fine.''' He went 4-for-4, his second straight four-hit game, and finished with four RBI and four runs scored. It was the fifth multihomer game of his career, but the fourth since June 11. Over the last 17 games, he's hitting .439 with 12 homers and 21 RBI. "Paul's been unbelievable,'' Royce Clayton said. "He's come up with some huge hits lately, and he came up with two pretty big ones today.'' It was the Cubs' biggest blown lead in a loss since April 17, 1976, when they led the Philadelphia Phillies 12-1 after three innings at Wrigley Field. Mike Schmidt hit four homers in that game, as the Phillies rallied to beat the Cubs 18-16 in 10 innings |
