The White Sox won in walk-off fashion Wednesday night, a relieving if not exactly representative conclusion to a long day of baseball on the South Side.
Yonder Alonso was in a do-or-die situation, the White Sox down a run with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. He delivered, despite coming into the doubleheader with the Baltimore Orioles the owner of a .190 batting average. Not exactly what the White Sox thought he'd do when they acquired him in a December trade with the division-rival Cleveland Indians. For one night, he got to be the hero instead of a to-this-point disappointing addition.
