A pinch-single by Del Unser plated a run in the eighth inning to enable the Senators to extend their winning streak to six games with a 2-1 victory over the White Sox. Ed Stroud homered in the first for the Senators. Ed Herrmann tied the score with a circuit clout in the fifth. Ed Brinkman singled in the eighth, took third on a single by Jim French and scored on Unser's hit. [The Sporting News]
