. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Forty hits flew in and out of Fenway Park as the White Sox beat the Red Sox, 22-13, in a game that fell one short of the A. L. record for the most runs by two clubs. The mark of 36 was set June 29, 1950, when the Red Sox defeated the former Philadelphia Athletics, 22-14.

Luis Aparicio and Walt Williams each collected five of the White Sox' 24 hits. Williams scored five runs and drove in two. Bill Melton accounted for four RBIs with a single, double and homer. On the Red Sox side, Carl Yastrzemski and Mike Andrews hit homers. [The Sporting News]
