Rico Petrocelli, who hit a homer and double previously in the game, drove in a run with a two-out single in the ninth inning to bring the Red Sox a 5-4 victory over the White Sox. Phil Gagliano walked in the ninth and advanced on a passed ball.

After Luis Aparicio struck out and Reggie Smith flied out, Carl Yastrzemski was handed an intentional pass before Petrocelli came to the plate. Carlos May had a perfect night at bat for the White Sox with five straight hits. [The Sporting News]
