Breaking loose for three runs in the 10th inning, the White Sox defeated the Red Sox, 6-3. Alan Bannister opened the stanza with a single and was forced by Jorge Orta. Jim Spencer walked. Jim Essian then delivered a single for his third hit of the game, scoring Orta with the tie-breaking tally. On the throw home, the other runners advanced and both then scored insurance markers on a single by Bucky Dent. [The Sporting News]
