A wild throw by Luis Aparicio on what could have been an inning-ending double play enabled the Angels to defeat the White Sox, 6-4. The Angels had homers by Jay Johnstone and Roger Repoz in taking a 4-3 lead, but the White Sox tied the score in the seventh on a double by Aparicio, a wild pitch and sacrifice fly by Duane Josephson. Sandy Alomar walked for the Angels in the eighth and took third on a single by Bill Voss, but was nailed at the plate on Jim Fregosi's grounder to Aparicio. After an intentional pass to Ken McMullen, Jim Spencer grounded to Bobby Knoop, who threw to Aparicio, forcing McMullen, but the shortstop's relay went wild and both Voss and Fregosi crossed the plate. Only one run was ruled unearned. [The Sporting News] |
