Ninth-inning rallies that included two-run doubles marked the split of a twi-night doubleheader with the White Sox winning the first game, 7-5, and the Rangers coming back to take the second game, 7-6. In the opener, the White Sox, who were trailing, 5-4, began their ninth with a single by Greg Pryor and a forceout of pinch-runner Thad Bosley by Marv Foley. Sparky Lyle took over for the Rangers and retired Wayne Nordhagen on a fly, but Chet Lemon singled to drive in pinch-runner Rusty Torres, tying the score. Eric Soderholm then doubled home two runs to give the White Sox their winning margin.
