A two-out single by Greg Pryor broke a tie in the eighth inning and lifted the White Sox to a 5-4 victory over the Angels. Mike Squires singled, moved to second on an infield out and scored on Pryor's hit. The game was followed by the tragic death of Lyman Bostock. The Angels' outfielder was shot and killed in Gary, Ind.
