TUCSON, March 12 (UPI) -- The Chicago White Sox took advantage of a pair of errors Tuesday to score five times in the top of the ninth inning and rally for a 9-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

Three runs scored on a pop-up that was misplayed by second baseman Jose Ortiz and first baseman Greg Norton. Shortstop Juan Uribe also committed an error as just two of Chicago's nine runs were earned.
