Luis Aparicio's third single of the game helped set up two runs in the seventh inning to enable the White Sox to beat the Indians, 5-3. A homer by Ed Herrmann gave the White Sox their initial run in the second inning and two more followed in the fifth on singles by Tommy John and Walt Williams, Aparicio's forceout of Williams, a sacrifice fly by Carlos May and singles by Bill Melton and Gail Hopkins. Williams walked in the seventh, took third on a single by Aparicio and scored on a passed ball. An infield hit by May and sacrifice fly by Hopkins added the last run. Roy Foster and Vada Pinson homered for the Indians. [The Sporting News] |
