The White Sox tied the A.L. record for the most runs in the ninth inning, scoring 11 times in an explosion that wrecked the Red Sox, 13-5. The league mark was set by the Yankees against the St. Louis Browns May 3, 1951.

The White Sox sent 16 men to bat against five different Red Sox pitchers and piled up their runs on 10 hits, one walk and two errors. Luis Aparicio appeared as a pinch-hitter and drove in two runs with a double, then batted again before the inning ended and accounted for a third RBI with a single. [The Sporting News]
