Bill Melton, proving himself a better hitter than bunter, doubled in the 10th inning to score Carlos May and give the White Sox a 4-3 victory over the Athletics. May led off the stanza with single. Melton missed two bunt attempts, took two called balls and then swung away for the double that ended the White Sox' five-game losing streak.
