When Dave Danforth gave up the tying run to the Cleveland Indians in the bottom of the ninth inning, the White Sox were set up for another agonizing loss that sent them a half-game closer to losing their claim to first place in the American League.
When Swede Risberg squeezed home Joe Jackson in the top of the 13th and Danforth closed out the game with a 1-2-3 inning, they could breathe a little easier.
The Sox opened up their last series of a six-city road trip with a 4-3 nail-biter over the Indians in front of a 20,000-strong Sunday crowd.
