A bases-loaded single by Bruce Bochte snapped a 2-2 tie in the eighth inning and gave the Mariners a 4-2 decision over the White Sox. In the eighth, White Sox starter Steve Stone walked Julio Cruz and Larry Milbourne before being replaced by Jim Willoughby. Dan Meyer beat out a bunt to fill the bases and Leon Roberts forced Cruz at home before the game-winning hit by Bochte. [The Sporting News]
