A successful squeeze bunt by Toby Harrah in the sixth inning produced the Rangers' deciding run in a 4-3 victory over the White Sox. Before turning to the bunt, the Rangers overcame a 3-0 deficit with two homers -- a solo swat by Bump Wills in third and a belt by Bobby Bonds with a man on base that tied the score in the sixth. After Bonds' blow, Juan Beniquez singled, took third on another single by Jim Mason and scored on Harrah's squeeze. [The Sporting News]
