Spring Training / Highlights : Rice Has a Big Day, and Rose Has 2 Hits as a Designated Hitter

Jim Rice drove in four runs with a homer and a single, and the Boston Red Sox rallied for five runs in the eighth inning to score a 9-7 exhibition victory over the Cincinnati Reds Thursday at Winter Haven, Fla.

The Red Sox’s rally came against converted outfielder Scott Terry.

Cincinnati Manager Pete Rose made his 1985 playing debut, getting a single in the fourth and a run-scoring double in a five-run fifth as the designated hitter.

Rice hit his second exhibition homer over the fence atop the left-field wall after Tom Browning had walked the first two batters in the Boston first.

Rookie outfielder Ken Williams drove in three runs with a pair of home runs to lift the Chicago White Sox to a 7-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at Clearwater, Fla.

Williams, 20, hit a two-run homer in the second inning off losing pitcher Jerry Koosman. His second homer, a solo shot in the fifth off Jay Davisson, wrapped up the Chicago scoring.

Britt Burns, making his second spring appearance, gave up three hits and one earned run in five innings to pick up the victory.

At Miami, Mike Young drove in four runs as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Texas Rangers, 5-2.

The Orioles, who improved their exhibition record to 5-1, scored three unearned runs in the first inning. An error by second baseman Wayne Tolleson set the stage for Young’s bases-loaded triple off losing pitcher Tommy Boggs. Young drove in another run with a double in the seventh inning.

Mike Boddicker got the win, pitching four innings and allowing three hits and one run.
