A pass to Pete Varney with the bases loaded and two out in the 12th inning handed the White Sox a 4-3 victory over the Indians. Jim Bibby walked Carlos May and then Ken Henderson with one out before giving way to Rick Waits.

Jorge Orta beat out an infield hit to load the bases. Lee Richard forced May at the plate for the second out, but Varney batted for Nyls Nyman and drew four straight balls for the walk that forced in Henderson. [The Sporting News]
