In a thriller the Chicago White Sox staged a dramatic comeback then held on to
win over the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 3 to 2 at Three Rivers
Stadium.
 
Chicago scored the decisive runs in a big 9th inning scoring 2 runs using 2
hits.  Tim Raines led off and got things going when he drew a walk.  Joey
Cora stepped into the batter's box and he banged out a single.  Two outs
later Cora was safe on a stolen base.  Carlton Fisk came up and he was walked
intentionally to load the bases.  Warren Newson came up to bat and stroked a
single plating two runs.  Both teams ended up with 5 hits on the night.
 
The victory went to Scott Radinsky(1-0) who went 1 and 1/3 innings, allowing
no runs. Bobby Thigpen recorded the save, his 1st.  Bill Landrum(0-1) was the
losing pitcher in relief.  He surrendered 1 run and 1 hit without retiring a
batter.  
 
'Jeff Torborg was estatic following the game, 'You love stealing one on the
road like this.  We just kept plugging away until we pulled it out!'
