A four-run uprising in the fifth inning carried the White Sox to a 5-3 triumph over the Blue .lays. With the game tied, 1-1, Glenn Borgmann opened the inning with a walk and scored on a triple by Kevin Bell, who came home on a sacrifice fly by Todd Cruz.

Singles by Leo Sutherland and Mike Squires and a two-out walk to Lamar Johnson loaded the bases and, after Joey McLaughlin replaced starter Jesse Jefferson on the mound for the Blue Jays, Jim Morrison slapped a two-run single. [The Sporting News]
