The White Sox’ 2-1 victory, tying the ALCS at one game apiece with the Angels

The White Sox’ 2-1 victory, tying the ALCS at one game apiece with the Angels, will be best remembered for Doug Eddings’s controversial call which appears to signal the third out of the ninth inning has been made, but A.J. Pierzynski takes first base as the home plate ump belatedly rules the catcher had trapped the swinging strike. Chicago will take advantage of the incident when pinch runner Pablo Ozuna steals second and scores the winning run on Joe Crede’s double.
