Twins Even With White Sox After Walk-Off Win
In a crucial game, the Minnesota Twins put on their best show, beating the Chicago White Sox by a final score of 5-4 today. Cliff Floyd was 3 for 3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Minnesota and Chicago are now tied at 2 wins apiece in the best-of-7 affair.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Floyd hit a fastball from Paul Assenmacher for a run-scoring single. The Twins, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"We're happy," Floyd told reporters after the win. "When you're in the playoffs, you've got to treat every game like it could be your last."

Game 5 is scheduled for tomorrow at Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome. The scheduled starters for the game are Alex Fernandez for the Chicago White Sox and Denny Neagle for the the Minnesota Twins.
