come from behind win

Sox were down 5-0 and won with 6 runs scored in the bottom of the ninth inning!

Crack publicist John Blake, with the assistance of the Elias Sports Bureau, put the comeback in context yesterday:

"It was just the second time in franchise history the Sox have been shut out through the first eight innings, trailed by five or more runs in the ninth, and won. The other time was May 30, 1931, when the Sox, a last-place team, scored six times in the ninth to beat the world champion Philadelphia Athletics, 6-5, in the second game of a doubleheader."
