Seattle, Sept. 18: Ichiro Suzuki singled in Ryan Langerhans from second with one away in the 14th inning Thursday, giving Seattle a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

With Scott Linebrink (3-7) on the mound in the 14th, Langerhans delivered a one-out single to right. Linebrink hit pinch-hitter Kenji Johjima with a pitch and Suzuki followed with the game-winning base hit.
