. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A four-run rally in the seventh inning, including a tie-breaking single by Luis Aparicio, brought the White Sox an 8-5 victory over the Brewers. The White Sox, who collected a total of 17 hits, wasted many of them until the seventh when they overcame a 5-4 deficit. Buddy Bradford led off with a single and, after a forceout by John Matias, singles by Ed Herrmann, Gail Hopkins and Ken Berry produced the tying run. Aparicio then broke the deadlock with his single, driving in two runs, and Bill Melton subsequently singled to account for the final marker. [The Sporting News]
