A walk to Ron LeFlore, his stolen base and a bunt single by Mike Squires set the stage for a three-run homer by Greg Luzinski in the last of the eighth that propelled the White Sox past the Yankees, 3-1. The game was called after a 49 minute rain delay with one out in the eighth, the third such interruption of the night.
