The Twins were stopped on their five-game winning streak when the White Sox scored two unearned runs in the 12th inning on a wild throw by Dick Woodson to gain a 5-3 victory. Ed Herrmann homered in the ninth to give the White Sox a 3-1 lead, but the Twins forced the game into overtime with a double by Tony Oliva, an infield hit by Rick Renick, a pass to Bob Allison, single by Leo Cardenas and sacrifice fly by Rich Reese.

In the 12th, Bob Spence walked and was forced by Walt Williams. Luis Aparicio then grounded to Woodson, who threw wildly to first base, allowing Williams to score. Tommy McCraw then added an extra run with a sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
