CHICAGO -- Brandon Inge knew as soon as he made a diving stop in the seventh inning what was wrong with his shoulder and what he needed to do as quickly as possible. So, he just popped it back into place and stayed in the game Saturday night. Two batters later, he started an inning-ending double play at third base, and then in the eighth he delivered the go-ahead single for the Oakland Athletics in a 9-7 victory over the Chicago White Sox. "I dislocated it. I just had to put it back in the socket," Inge said of his right shoulder that came out of place after he made a diving stop in the seventh on Alex Rios infield single down the third base line. "It might get a little sore tomorrow, but Ill do my best," Inge said. The White Sox went on to score in the seventh on A.J. Pierzynskis RBI single for a 7-6 lead. But Jonny Gomes homered off Matt Thornton (4-8) in the eighth, and after singles by Yoenis Cespedes and Chris Carter, Inge greeted reliever Brett Myers with a go-ahead single into the right field corner. "I guess it just shows two teams that dont want to give up. I like that," Inge said. Inge said he would do what was best for the As on Sunday but hopes to be in the lineup. "I plan on playing. If I feel like Im going to be a detriment to the team, I wont come back in," he said. "If I feel like I have something to offer, Ill play through some pain. Just make sure Im somewhat smart about it." Gomes added an RBI single in the top of the ninth before Grant Balfour pitched the bottom half for his eighth save in 10 chances, his first since May 5. Balfour took the closers role back from Ryan Cook (5-2), who gave up Pierzynskis single in the seventh but got the win. "I was surprised he stayed in the game. He felt like the shoulder may have come out of the socket and went back in," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said of the veteran Inge. "He stayed in, made a great play on the double play and ends up getting what ends up being the biggest hit. We all know hes a very tough guy and can play through a lot of pain." Tyler Flowers homered and had three RBIs and a career-high three hits for the White Sox. Kevin Youkilis also homered for Chicago and was hit in the left forearm by Balfours pitch in the ninth. Thornton took the blame for the pitch he made to Gomes. "Its really frustrating. Weve been playing well and I didnt do my job," he said. "One-run lead and I thought it was a good idea to throw him a breaking ball. He jumped all over it." Chicago starter Francisco Liriano, who left his previous start after five innings with a bruised right quadriceps, didnt make it out of the fourth this time. He surrendered seven hits and six runs in 3 1-3 innings. He struck out four of the first five batters Saturday before he got in trouble in the third when the As loaded the bases on a single, walk and hit batter. Carter delivered a two-run single, Inge walked to reload the bases, and Derek Norris had a two-run, ground-rule double. Adam Rosales then drove in the fifth run of the inning with a single as Oakland sent 10 batters to the plate. Chicago scored two in the second on an infield out by Dayan Viciedo and an RBI double by Flowers. Josh Reddick had an RBI single for Oakland in the fourth, and Flowers added a run-scoring single for the White Sox in the bottom half. Youkilis hit his 14th homer in the fifth to make it 6-5. It was his 10th since joining the White Sox in a June 24 trade from Boston. Flowers third homer of the season tied it at 6-6 in the sixth. Oaklands Travis Blackley, in his first start since July 29, gave up five runs and six hits in five innings. Notes: Cook has been removed from the closers role, at least temporarily, by Melvin, who said he wanted to get the rookie some work in lower-pressure situations. Cook has converted just two of his last six save opportunities, and 12 of 19 for the season. ... White Sox 1B Paul Konerko will take it easy this weekend and will be re-evaluated by doctors after suffering a concussion earlier this week and being placed on the 7-day DL. Chicago manager Robin Ventura said Konerko wont be on the first part of next weeks trip that starts in Toronto. OF Dewayne Wise was called up from Triple-A to take Konerkos roster spot.

Head coach Cory Chamblin challenged his defence to hold the CFLs leading rusher to less than 100 yards. Cornish managed just 67, and the Riders won 30-25. This Saturday it isnt that simple. Saskatchewan (6-6) hosts the league-leading B.C. Lions (9-3), who have plenty of offensive weapons that need attention. You can watch the game live on TSN and TSN Mobile TV at 10pm et/7pm pt. "They have a number of different talents," Chamblin said, "and theyre probably the best team in the league at using all their talents." Lions quarterback Travis Lulay has a variety of weapons at his disposal. On the ground he has dangerous running back Andrew Harris, and through the air his receiving corps features Geroy Simon and Arland Bruce III. As far as Odell Willis is concerned, however, the focus remains the same. The Riders defensive end has one thing on his mind, and thats sacking the quarterback. The fact that Keron Williams of the Lions is currently leading the CFL in that department with eight sacks merely provides additional inspiration for Willis, who has six. "I feel like thats my crown," said Willis, who posted 13 sacks last season as a member of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. "Thats one of my personal goals, being on top." If theres a drawback to the veteran rush end its that he also has a habit of taking penalties for roughing the quarterback. "He just has to find more control and more balance," Chamblin said of Willis. "He has to get these things cleaned up, and well continue to work with him to make him a better player." Willis is aware of the head coachs concerns, and seems resolved to helping his team cut back on the costly penalties. But hes equally determined not to compromise the full-speed-ahead approach he takes the game. "Hopefully when I get there itll bee a sack instead of 15 yards," he said.dddddddddddd "You have to keep playing relentlessly. Whatever happens happens." In turns of sheer mobility, Willis ranks Lulay third among CFL quarterbacks, behind Henry Burris of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the man he considers the most dangerous scrambler in the league -- Saskatchewans Darian Durant. Durant has been slowed down recently by a hip flexor, but the injury is no longer a factor when it comes to deciding whether to use his arm or his legs. "If the opportunity presents itself, I will (run)," he said. Durant expressed confidence in what he described as a "dynamic backfield" featuring Korey Sheets and Jock Sanders, and he is becoming increasing more comfortable with the teams newest receiver, Greg Carr. Carr has good speed, and he also happens to stand six-foot-six, which gives him a height advantage over most of the leagues defensive backs. "I think hes coming along really well. Hes a smart guy. Hes a football player," Durant said. "All you have to do is put the ball up somewhere and hell go up and get it." Chamblin is likewise pleased with Carrs progress. "Theres a chemistry thats working there," he said. The plan is to deploy Carr at wide receiver for the moment and eventually move him to a slotback position. "As long as it helps the team, Im all for it," said Carr, who is happy to make any contribution he can to the playoff drive, large or small. "Whenever the ball is in my hands, Ive got to feel like maybe its going to be the only time its in my hands. I have to make the most of it." A former Winnipeg Blue Bomber and Edmonton Eskimo, Carr had one reception for nine yards in Saskatchewans 30-25 victory over the Stampeders last week. "Im feeling more comfortable, Im feeling more ready," he said. "Its time to go out and be the kind of football player I know I can be." ' ' '
