Harry Chappas scored the tie-breaking run in the 10th inning as the White Sox defeated the Indians, 4-2, but the diminutive shortstop was shipped out after the game to Iowa (American Association). Chappas entered the contest as a pinch-runner for Greg Pryor, who opened the 10th inning with a single.

After a sacrifice by Rusty Torres, Chappas disregarded the stop sign by third base coach Bobby Winkles and scored on a disputed call. Claudell Washington took second on the play and registered an insurance run on a single by Thad Bosley. [The Sporting News]
